Rooting in Consent: Trust-based Storytelling for Advocacy and Systems Change will be a workshop with case study stories and a participatory interviewing exercise that will help participants recognize power dynamics in storytelling, gain strategies for more equitable approaches, and generate ideas for how our trust-based storytelling process can support other projects. Participants will leave our workshop with examples of stories shared with this process, confidence in and strategies to ethically share stories, and experience interviewing. The workshop is led by Stories for Change, a working group that amplifies underrepresented voices and their relationship to the outdoors through a trust-based, collaborative process. Stories for Change is a project of the Nature Based Education Consortium (NBEC), a collaborative network working together on systems-level efforts that support inclusive access to outdoor learning experiences.
