Design. Writing. Filmmaking. Journalism. Media. Regardless the medium, your work must be rooted in the story you tell.
Maybe it’s the story of your organization. Maybe it’s the story of those impacted by a specific issue. Maybe it’s your personal story. During this interactive workshop, participants will develop a strategy and improve their new ability to use storytelling to highlight the importance of the issues at the center of whatever their work may be.
Full disclosure: this is NOT a workshop for the bystander. Be prepared to get to know the fellow members of the workshop and get to know yourself, as Vanguard Communication's Leah Holmes-Bonilla engages participants to elevate awareness, build relationships and trust, and create a lasting impression. Whether you are communicating with your audience, your funders, the media or your organization, the Storytelling Workshop will foster the skills to get your story told effectively.

Greg Roth of Percy Group Communications will lead a communications workshop on creating high-level strategy and more engaging content for nonprofits, associations, businesses, foundations, and product or issue campaigns.
Every person has a story, and every person has experienced a journey—whether it has been an immigration journey across continents, or a story of migrating from one neighborhood to a neighborhood across town.
Join IMPACT Silver Spring, a community development organization, and Gandhi Brigade, a youth media and youth organizing non-profit, in this interactive workshop. Inspired by an event hosted by the Smithsonian, IMPACT Silver Spring, Gandhi Brigade, and community members in Silver Spring have been meeting regularly for the past 6 months to share stories and have conversations about immigration and migration. We would like to bring this experience to you through a workshop where each participant will become a storyteller, while also participating in a dialogue about immigration, migration, and home, and what these ideas mean to us personally and as a larger society.
The second part of storytelling is keeping the story alive. For those that choose to, we will also provide a mobile recording booth where participants can record their stories through video or audio.
