Systems change when stories do. Dominant narratives shape our values and are upheld by infrastructures designed to maintain these stories. To transform these systems, we must create conditions to reimagine current narratives and build new infrastructures for shifting culture. Attendees will hear from leaders of two distinct projects building narrative power to change the stories sustaining broken systems, and how philanthropy can accelerate these efforts. Attendees will learn how strategic storytelling can be leveraged to secure funding and catalyze impactful change, highlighting practical examples and insights on building narrative power for a more just and equitable future.
