LCN Europe is proud to announce that it will be running a complete Public Narrative training on the 13-14 of February 2021. The training will be held over two days and will be online. Applications are open to organisations and individual activists alike. Applicants can apply individually or as a team of 5 participants.

After the training, participants will be able to apply the Public Narrative framework, including the story of self, us and now, plus how to combine all elements of story, to their own organising work. The training will focus on getting the participants ‘on the bike’ and practicing storytelling, as well as giving them a grounding in the conceptual framework of Public Narrative.

Outside the two-day training, we will be offering participants optional sessions, with special guests and coaching opportunities, to enrich the participants’ knowledge of Public Narrative from a variety of perspectives.

 

What you will learn

The training will give you a grounding in:

  • how to craft your public narrative starting with your “story of self”;
  • connecting your story to that of your community (story of us) to motivate commitment to a shared purpose and engage others in a call to action (story of now);
  • how to increase your capacity to lead others using the public narrative framework, communicating stories that inspire mindful action.

 

Applications

To apply, participants should complete this form. Participants will be able to enroll as:

  • individuals

Sponsor a team

It’s possible to lift over 100 emerging civic leaders together. At this training, we will be offering the opportunity to sponsor teams. Starting at 2000 USD to sponsor a team, this is how you can support our leaders:

  2. Your team, plus one. Support your team, and sponsor one additional team to attend the training. 4000 USD.

When sponsoring a team, you have the opportunity to support a team of your choice eg. issue, country or constituency.
