Description

Storytelling is more than just a means of communication—it is the foundation of how we understand the world, form connections, and drive social change. In this episode, we explore the enduring power of storytelling, from its ancient roots in oral traditions to its modern evolution through digital media. We unpack how narratives shape public consciousness, influence decision-making, and inspire collective action. Whether in personal conversations, marketing campaigns, or movement-building, storytelling is at the heart of changemaking. Tune in to discover how crafting and sharing impactful stories can shift perspectives, mobilise communities, and create lasting social transformation.
