Great storytelling doesn’t happen by chance. It requires clear processes, thoughtful decision-making and a commitment to putting people before content.
This practical workshop explores how charities can build an ethical, sustainable approach to gathering, managing and sharing stories from people with living and lived experience. You’ll learn how to develop a Stories Hub – a structured system for identifying, collecting, storing and using stories safely and effectively – so your charity has powerful, authentic content ready when opportunities arise.
Drawing on real-world examples and practical tools, the session covers every stage of the storytelling journey, from making the first approach to a potential storyteller through to gaining informed consent, creating compelling content and managing stories responsibly over time.
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
– understand how to apply ethical storytelling principles in practice
– be able to develop a process for building a Stories Hub
– feel confident engaging with storytellers throughout the storytelling process
