Storytelling Workshop: Change Starts With Your Story
Sponsoring Organization: Connecticut Parent Advocacy Center
Thursday, March 12, 2026
7:00pm
No cost
Are you passionate about changing something? Do you want to improve the way you share your passions with others, so they’re just as captivated as you are? This ONLINE workshop is designed to equip participants with the tools necessary to be civically engaged and active in their communities. We will use Marshall Ganz’s three aspects of storytelling (Story of Me, Story of Us, and Story of Now) to build our personal stories and then pair strategies to share your story while advocating for policy change. Finally, we will talk about essential relationship building — connecting with those who can ensure your story has impact.
