In a moment when information and misinformation are moving at a break-neck pace and trust in media institutions is dwindling, how can we challenge dominant narratives and confront current power structures? What does it look like to harness journalism and storytelling for effective knowledge mobilization and social change? Join us for interactive skill-share that will center on practical approaches to sharing knowledge and understanding impact in an ever-shifting techno-cultural landscape.

We look forward to digging into narrative-building with you and our special guests:

– Danièle-Jocelyne Otou-Nguini (New Room Group & Black Healing Centre),
– Rachel Gilmore (Bubble Pop Media),
– and Savannah Stewart (The Rover)

They will lead discussions on wielding communications for social transformation, in an effort to better equip us to defy power through our stories.
