In this six-week Deep Dive, we explore the role of storytelling for shaping our individual identities and the cultures we live in.

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

With some very special guests, we develop tools to help 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.

"The Storytelling for Change program helped me validate my inner storytelling voice, to quieten my inner critic and to allow me to consider a path forward on ways I can share stories to create change. The program provided tools, insights and inspiration to enable my storytelling voice. Thank you. can I do it again!."
— Lissi Kennedy
