Storytelling is fundamental to human societies – and therefore, to social change. But not all stories are created equal. This training series hosted by FrameWorks’ is designed to teach more effective ways of establishing narratives that set up policy thinking and enable large-scale social change.

This introductory session will share FrameWorks’ research-informed strategies for harnessing the power of storytelling for social change. This process involves helping the public view the essential needs of children and their families as public concerns, not as private issues. It also involves using stories as invitations to the public to think in terms of systems and solutions and to engage as citizens. Participants will have the opportunity to practice evaluating narratives for their ability to create the change we are working to create.

When it comes to giving legislative testimony, received wisdom is to share a story, to make it compelling, but to keep it short! In this session, drawing from the insights learned in Storytelling 101, we will look at some example testimony (good, better, and best) to help participants build comfort with utilizing framing strategies that help testimony DO everything that it can do. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice creating, giving, and getting feedback in order to support one another in implementing and sustaining this practice going forward.
