We contain multitudes: an introduction to ethical storytelling in policy and advocacy
We contain multitudes: an introduction to ethical storytelling in policy and advocacy
Overview
This workshop is for those who want to learn more about ethical storytelling for advocacy. It supports both advocates and practitioners to build their knowledge, skills and confidence in unpacking the ethics of representation and better understand the impacts of sharing personal experiences, stereotypes, and stigma.
We take a deep dive into how people with lived and living experience are often represented through storytelling, the impacts of these representations on people with marginalised identities, and the dangers of the ‘singular narrative’. You’ll receive guidance on ethical storytelling tools and techniques, including how to centre dignity and humanity in the stories we share and tell.
You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the risks of extractive and exploitative approaches to storytelling and be able to draw from foundational principles of informed consent and discernment when listening to and sharing stories for social change.
This workshop is for those who are:
- Wanting to learn more about ethical storytelling for advocacy
- Needing support and confidence building when sharing their own personal experiences and understand the impacts of doing so
- Looking to build their knowledge, skills and confidence in unpacking the ethics of representation and better understand the impacts of sharing personal experiences, stereotypes, and stigma (e.g. those in the media, journalists etc.).

I left this workshop with a changed perspective and a commitment to help empower people.
“Without a doubt, Morgan gave one of the most insightful workshops I’ve had the pleasure of joining. Focusing on the multiple factors and complexities a person with lived experience of homelessness can face, she brought a unique mix of innate enthusiasm, storytelling skills, practical examples, and passion not only for social change, but a greater understanding of the power dynamic in a service/client relationship. I left her workshop with a changed perspective and a commitment to help empower people with a lived experience more through digital communications.”
