Story, Narrative and Systems Learning & Practice Series
October 22 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
An inspirational learning & practice series on story, narrative and systems to explore how you understand your contribution and learn from your ambitious systems change work.
In a world saturated with competing narratives – many designed to polarise, overwhelm and inhibit agency – this series invites you to explore the potential of story to contribute to systems change and just and regenerative futures.
While systems change often focuses on structures and behaviours, beneath these lie narratives and myths – collections of stories about who we are, what’s happened, what is possible, and what matters in the present and the future. Increasingly, changemakers are turning to story not just as a communication method, but also as a means of imagining beyond, sensemaking, understanding change, cultural intervention, and uncovering the beliefs that weave the fabrics of our realities.
In Story, Narrative and Systems, we intend to uncover our relationship with stories as living artefacts that are influenced by narratives, which shift and shape as they move between us, and hold re-worlding potential.
To dive deeper, we invite you to join us for this learning and practice series through five online 2-hour sessions (September – December 2025) with experienced contributors from across the field to explore how they work with story and narrative for systems change – and how you can too.
