Personal Storytelling and Advocacy: What works?
In October 2016 the Open Society Foundations organized a two-day dialogue in collaboration with the storytelling group Narativ, and storytelling experts Francesca Polletta and Thaler Pekar. The meeting brought together more than 60 academics, funders, and activists who use or study storytelling in their work so they could share their knowledge and experiences. The conversation was woven around two broad themes: the effectiveness and the ethics of personal storytelling for advocacy.
