Webinar Description:

As public participation practitioners, we invite the stories of lived experience to build relationships and to shape change in our communities. These stories bring our Core Values to life, carrying community voices and wisdom into public decision making. This webinar brings storytelling professionals together–colleagues from jurisdictions, museums and academia–to share their practice of lifting important stories. Participants will leave this webinar with ideas about how they might incorporate storytelling practices and partners into their own public work

Panelists are:

• Rowena Alegria, writer/consultant/speaker and City of Denver's former Chief Storyteller
• Richard Cooper, Ed.D, President and CEO of the Levine Museum of the New South 
• Vickie Larsen, Ph.D. Morningside University's Esther Mackintosh Scholar of the Humanities
• Cathy Smith, In Common, IAP2 USA Licensed Trainer, Moderator 

The session will include a reflection on where stories fit in your practice and where partnerships of these kinds could advance your engagement work.
