Storytelling for Change - Deep Dives

Learn how to harness storytelling for social and environmental impact 

Book a call to talk about where Storytelling for change might take you.

Join us for an immersive six week experience Step into your authentic power as a storyteller.

In this six-week Deep Dive we explore the role storytelling plays in shaping our individual and collective identities, and how it can be harnessed to catalyse critical change for our communities and our planet.

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 will develop our skills for telling good stories in our personal lives, and consider how we're publishing content on our public platforms to affect culture change. 

Learn from world class storytellers and changemakers


What you will learn:

  • Learn how to find your story seed

  • Explore how to structure a narrative arc and story

  • Find and hone your authentic voice as an individual, brand or movement

  • Practice creating and holding space for storytelling

  • Develop active listening skills

  • Grow your confidence as a powerful storyteller

Plus have the opportunity to share the story you’ve developed over the course in our community story circle.

Who’s this program for? 

Storytelling for Change is for anyone interested in creating shifts in personal, organisational or cultural identities. 

Whether you’re a public speaker, executive, community or organisational leader, artist, politician, activist, or marketing professional — chances are you use stories in your day-to-day life to influence behaviour and inspire change.

“I believe the Storytelling for Change workshop is one of the most important experiences anyone working in content development and understanding change can experience. The conversations, content, thinkers and practitioners made for a rich and impactful experience. The course re-awakened my personal sense of radical hope for the ability of diverse voices and new ways of thinking to shape our collective future.”

— Magdalena Lane
