Designers - do you want to make a difference in your workplace and are not sure what to do? You know the call for urgent action on climate change requires a collective effort for organizations to respond effectively to these challenges, but how do you push your organization to take bolder action when you're not the CEO or part of the C-suite? Sounds impossible? Not really. It can start with challenging dominant mental models in the organization through the development of new narratives and using your design powers to get sh*t done!
Join Raz Godelnik to explore why narratives play an important role in the fight to move away from sustainability-as-usual, what narratives we need to ignite the desired shift in mental models, and most importantly: how to become a narrative warrior. The event will include a workshop and Q&A to develop narrative strategies that they can later apply in their workplace.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
An understanding of the importance of narratives and what makes them effective for impulsing change.
A framework for engaging with internal stakeholders of your organization with climate narratives.
A set of different strategies to become a narrative warrior.
