SmartMeme Advanced Story-based Strategy Training
June 02, 2011 to June 05, 2011
SmartMeme was founded in 2002 to help grassroots organizations harness the power of narrative to effectively frame issues, build stronger alliances and create more compelling messages. Our story-based strategy model links traditional organizing techniques with new strategy, training, and communications methods like framing and branding-to give social change advocates the tools to hone their story, challenge prevailing cultural narratives, and ultimately build stronger movements that can bring social change. Now more than ever, as the overlapping economic, social and ecological crises are becoming more visible while corporate propagandists and right wing ideologues push their narratives justifying further racism, fear and inequity our movements need tools and strategies to win the Battle of the Story.
