Storytelling for Change - November 2022

In this four-week Deep Dive, we will explore the role of storytelling for shaping our individual identities and our cultures to discover how we can harness storytelling to shape our personal lives and communities.

Blending theory, practical exercises and case studies, this course will illuminate the intersection between the stories we tell and the way we live, work and interact with one another.

With some very special guests, we will develop our skills to tell good stories in our personal lives, and consider how we're publishing content on our public platforms to affect culture change.

The course is an immersive exploration into the power of our own stories and the opportunities we have to shape the narrative we’re creating for our future.

Join us for this immersive exploration to identify the power of our own stories and realise the opportunity to shape the narrative we’re creating for our future.

"The Storytelling for Change deep dive has been a light in the darkness of these last few months, and I’m so grateful to Nathan for leading it so skilfully, and for the amazing people he's gathered to speak to us and for the generosity and creativity of the other participants."
— Ben Duke, Artistic Director, Lost Dog
