10. Human Stories: A creative approach to community engagement

Summary

Human stories are important. To quote Michelle Obama, sometimes “we focus too much on stats and not story.” As practitioners, we’re so busy looking at the numbers that we lose sight of what we can learn from the reasons behind those numbers. Using storytelling as a device will enable us to approach community engagement in a new way. Join this session and gain insight into how best to capture human experiences – and use them to shape strategies and evaluate projects.
