Workshops

Narrative building workshop

This workshop aims to help participants build their narrative power, which is the ability to influence broad narratives that shape how people think about social issues. Incorporating evidence-based principles of good storytelling and persuasive communication, participants develop the skills to share their stories in meaningful ways as op-eds, personal essays, blog posts, or advocacy statements. Workshops are tailored to address topics of interest and group goals.
