Once Upon a Mission: A Storytelling Workshop for Administrators, Public Advocates & Not-for-Profit Fundraisers
Storytelling is a powerful way to communicate ideas and to generate support for new vision and direction. In a wide range of settings, storytelling can stimulate inventive thinking, clarify values, motivate generosity and inspire action. This interactive workshop is designed to help participants develop the narrative skills needed for effective advocacy and the insight to identify key types of poignant tales that can be used to support innovative change. Through discussion, demonstration and improvisational activities, participants will explore basic storytelling skills, practical ways to remember, sequence, and bring a story to life, and how to use narrative and metaphor to concisely and concretely convey a message.
