Session Description:

Stories are powerful tools. Through narrative, we can connect with others and invite them into taking action alongside us in our struggle for hope, challenge, and change. But how do we do it? How do we build effective stories that demonstrate the real solutions to the crises of our time?

In this session, we will learn how to build effective stories that will move people on the issues. Whether you’re lobbying an elected official, giving a speech at a rally, talking to the media, canvassing, or just talking to friends, coworkers, and neighbours, this session will help you use your own life experiences to connect with others and invite them into the movement for a better Alberta for all.
