Content

Welcome to ‘Storytelling for Civil Society’ course!

We are surrounded by stories. We encounter them all the time when we read the news or books, watch TV shows and movies, listen to interviews and podcasts. With so much "noise" in public discourse, it is difficult for civic activists and civil society organizations to get their stories heard. To help these stories find readers and listeners, the EU-funded Eastern Partnership Civil Society Facility Project in partnership with the OEEC, is organizing an online course, Storytelling for Civil Society.

Storytelling is a method of communication with an audience based on the art of storytelling. It is an effective method of delivering information to the audience, which allows you to create compelling and emotional content in a variety of formats, to hold attention and shape attitudes to the issue raised.

What is a "good story" and how do you learn to create one? How to tell the mission of your project with storytelling? And what will a story written on the basis of your personal experience of activism, values formation, and civic position look like? Our online course will help you answer these and other questions. It is designed to combine theoretical background and "live" interactive workshops, with examples of successful cases, the opportunity to receive mentor support and to apply knowledge into practice by completing homework assignments.

Choose the tracks you like, improve your skills, and get badges. To get the final badge, collect at least 6 badges, submit the final assignment and write feedback about the course.
