How Narrative Drives Change
April 11, 2024
April 23 brings a CWR Academy webinar focusing on the importance of our words: How Narrative Drives Change, which will be presented by CWR in partnership with Kino Border Initiative (KBI).
During this session, sisters who have participated in KBI’s Catholic Sisters Walking with Migrants program will share their experiences, and we will also hear the experiences of someone who has been forced to migrate. Sr. Tracey Horan, SP, will then lead a narrative change workshop. We will see how narrative change efforts possess the ability to dismantle damaging narratives, influence public sentiment, and drive policy changes aimed at addressing and eradicating the injustices of systemic racism.
While registration is required, this webinar will be available free of charge to all: both CWR members and non-members. Communicators, justice promoters, congregational leadership, and other colleagues – lay and religious – are all invited to join us. The webinar recording will be made available following the live session.
Please note that How Narrative Drives Change is scheduled to last approximately one hour and 15 minutes, slightly longer than other CWR Academy webinars, which are typically closer to 60 minutes.
