Part 1: Storymaking Webinar – The Secret Behind Crafting Stronger Stories

What do Black Panther, the Climate Strikes, and NASA have in common? Their stories follow the same pattern – a pattern we are hard-wired as humans to remember. Stories of change follow a recognizable and repeatable pattern which you can use to inspire action.

During New York Climate Week, GlobalWA’s Communications Collective is holding a free skills-building webinar designed to help you tap into the power of story science to tell stronger stories for your organization. Stories are one of the most effective tools to make change happen because they shape our deepest-held beliefs and inform our behaviors. 

Led by Stronger Stories and featuring The Hunger Project, join us to: 

• Unpack the pattern behind stories of change
• Explore how this pattern has shaped global narratives around climate
• Learn how you can apply these insights to tell stronger stories for your organization
