Harness the Power of Storytelling for Social Change
We designed our courses for social impact professionals, communicators, educators, organizations, researchers, journalists, and cross-sector changemakers.
At Storytellers for Change, we believe storytelling can drive transformative change from the micro (individual stories) to the macro (narrative change at a systemic level). Our ecosystemic approach to narrative is designed to support you in amplifying their impact through the strategic use of narrative. Our online courses are ideal for those seeking to:
Craft a Story of Self: Develop a powerful personal narrative that reflects your experiences, values, and vision for change.
