Become a Narrative Warrior

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.
