Spanish Skill Practice Session on Story of Self (2026)

This session is part of a series of Spanish skill practice sessions on Story of Self (March), Story of Us (April), and Story of Now (May), within our broader lineup of skill-building sessions on organizing and narrative. For the full learning experience, we encourage you to join all three sessions.

Construir la historia de sí mismo es una experiencia transformadora: un proceso de exploración que permite descubrir y poner en palabras los valores y las experiencias que nos definen y nos llaman a ejercer nuestro liderazgo.

Te invitamos a participar en una sesión de trabajo y práctica para profundizar Historia de Sí Mismo y lograr una versión que permita a otros comprender quién eres y desde qué valores actúas y lideras.

Estas sesiones han sido diseñadas para personas que ya cuentan con experiencia previa en Narrativa Pública —ya sea a través de cursos, talleres o campañas— y que desean profundizar su comprensión y seguir practicando.

Todas las sesiones serán 100% en español. Puedes participar en una sola o en todas (recomendamos el recorrido completo para una experiencia más rica y profunda).

Las sesiones son gratuitas y están abiertas tanto a miembros como a no miembros de LCN; quienes lo deseen pueden realizar una contribución para sostener nuestra comunidad de práctica.

Las sesiones estarán facilitadas por Patricia Mejalelaty y Mariana Garza, facilitadoras y coaches con amplia experiencia en Narrativa Pública.
