Stories matter. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how personal storytelling and sharing the stories of others can be a powerful force for social change. Through small group sharing, and active story sharing experiences, this workshop will help you learn how stories have fuelled real movements, and how they can connect you with others, discovering how our voices can inspire action in our community and beyond.
