Division for Early Childhood 2024 Conference

StorySlams - events where tellers perform short 5 minutes stories on a theme, live with no notes - are enjoying huge popularity. We use stories everyday in our advocacy as parents, family, teachers, service providers. Painting a picture for medical professionals, legislators, decisionmakers can often shift perspectives, leading to important conversations and great strides.

In this workshop we’ll discuss slam story format, generate compelling stories using writing prompts, get tips for live performance and discuss ways to use in our advocacy. Participants will also have the opportunity to share in front of the group.
