- Thursday, 5 June – 10:00-12:15 (Arrival 09:45)
- Location: WDCD Office
- With: Joi Lee – Head of Editorial & Executive Producer at Earthrise Studio & Cindy Fleur – Founder & Strategy Director at The Business of Culture
During this hands-on, in-depth workshop, we’ll explore how narrative can be used as a tool for justice, awareness, and change.
The day kicks off with two inspiring talks. First, Joi Lee of Earthrise Studio shares how creative storytelling can expose injustice, challenge dominant systems, and fuel collective action. Then, strategic communications expert and founder of The Business of Culture, Cindy Fleur, dives into the fundamentals of narrative construction and its impact on branding and marketing.
In the collaborative workshop that follows, participants will apply these insights directly to their own work — shaping and sharpening the narrative of their project, initiative, business or idea. With expert guidance and peer feedback, you’ll learn how to construct a compelling story around the climate issues you are working on.
Expect a dynamic, practical session filled with insights, tools, and inspiration for anyone looking to tell stories that move people — and make change.

What you’ll take away:
- Tools and strategies to craft compelling and authentic narratives
- Insight into how storytelling can hold power to account and counter disinformation
- Concrete progress on the narrative of your own project, initiative, or idea
- Inspiration from real-world storytelling campaigns that spark action
