Narrative-based strategic storytelling
This venue is wheelchair accessible.
Charities are well versed in telling stories externally, but internal storytelling is lagging behind. A powerful tool – storytelling can motivate and generate passion in our people. But how can we use it?
We’ll be exploring the importance of storytelling, discussing how we can ensure our internal audiences are on a clear, focused storytelling journey. We’ll hear case studies from charities successfully using storytelling to engage and communicate change. And we’ll be working together to come up with ideas for building creative storytelling into real-life campaigns.
