What you can expect

Building community through storytelling

In a data-driven world we can very often find our world reduced to numbers, statistics, and soundbites. While informative, if we use only those methods of understanding our world, we can miss the nuances and subtle differences in what it means to be human. Storytelling is an essential way to portray the complexity of the human experience and drive change through building community.

Meet, learn and be inspired

In crises, as in the fight for change, we are not all equal. Some of us have advantages, due to our socio-economic background, our access to education, our citizenship, our gender, or our race. For others the journey for change is ever more complex and requires tenacity, courage and conviction. Yet, many of us can have significant influence, including within our organisations
