Climate Storytellers - Building the storytelling capacity of the capacity builders
Event description
Let's go on a storytelling journey together, with Climate Storytellers!
Capacity-building is critical to facing the many complex challenges of climate change. The Paris Committee on Capacity-Building (PCCB) Network exists to support climate-related capacity-building, particularly for emerging economies. But capacity-building can sometimes feel like an abstract concept, covering many diverse activities and groups - how might we use storytelling to make capacity-building more visible, more tangible, more powerful?
Climate Storytellers is a program that builds the capacity of the capacity builders... to find, make, edit and share your most powerful stories addressing climate change.
Learn how to FIND and MAKE your own stories using smartphones and affordable equipment, and be empowered to EDIT & SHARE them with the world, with opportunities to share your stories and films across the network.
Program Outline:Â
SESSION 1 - BUILD Your Story - Facilitated by CLEAR Environmental (this session has concluded)Â
One aspect of climate storytelling that can be highlighted and lifted is that of capacity builders themselves, those working in areas of education, training, and public awareness. In Session 1, you'll brainstorm and reflect on your personal and/or organization’s climate action efforts. Writing groups will support each other on answering the question: How are you promoting and facilitating capacity to engage in climate action? In answering this question, we’ll also support you in thinking about the different formats in which you can tell your story (textual, photographic, audiovisual, etc).
SESSION 2 - FIND Your Story - Facilitated by Digital Storytellers
In this practical workshop, participants will brainstorm and distill their ideas using the Story Canvas - a tool, based on the popular Business Model Canvas, which helps in thinking strategically and creatively about engaging audiences through compelling stories, whether for blog posts, videos, presentations or beyond.
SESSION 3 - MAKE Your Story - Facilitated by Digital Storytellers
In this 90-minute workshop participants will learn the skills to create digital content, including videos and imagery, without the need for expensive equipment or a big budget. This is a VERY hands on workshop where participants will use smartphones, tablets and more to practice filmmaking and photography.
SESSION 4 - COMMUNICATE Your Story - Facilitated by CLEAR Environmental
After documenting your story visually with Digital Storytellers, we invite you to return for a final workshop on writing well-crafted communication tools or ‘vignettes’ that allow you to share your work on capacity building in areas of education, training, and public awareness in your own voice with diverse audiences in all parts of society. In this second workshop of our series, we will collectively present and share communication tools and explore how to organize their distribution on a webpage hosted in collaboration with the PCCB network to help the public mobilize for climate action. Along with publishing your multimedia vignette, which may include the video piece created in collaboration with Digital Storytellers, we will delve into future possibilities of collaboratively writing policy related to your climate empowerment work!
