Storytelling for Change - Actionable communications advice for advocacy, activist, and movements

Re-Indigenizing Learning | 3 Ways to Learn

We had an awe-mazing Branding & Dreaming workshop yesterday where we dreamed of the long-term visions that we want to see achieved in the world. What I loved most about the session was how the gathering allowed everyone to dream bigger and build on each other's visions.

The work of social change communications can often feel really tedious. You have your endless checklist of tasks you need to tick off to get the word of your/your organization's work out. That's why it's important to be in spaces together where we can live in the world we are working towards.

"Excellent, inspiring and actionable."

Today, I want to build on some of the behind-the-scenes work I've been doing for the community! A key part of that is how we learn and shift the way we think about build our strategic muscles to cultivate the connections we need to create lasting social change. For those that missed yesterday's session, I also share some of our new membership perks!
