Lets
mobilize and inspire
armies of grassroots
online storytellers!! |
|
| Lasting equality requires deep social change.
By sharing our stories and asking honest questions we can change
hearts and minds from fear and bias to understanding and
love. |
|
| But how? What do people need to know about me?
What's the best way to tell it? |
|
| And how can Web 2.0 technologies help make sure
the right stories get to the people who need them most? |
|
| STORYSUMMIT! |
| In response to the LGBTQ equality movement’s
growing call to “tell our stories," StorySummit is bringing
together movement leaders, activists, allies, & friends
to: |
| 1) Discuss &
discover how to most powerfully tell our stories to
different audiences |
| 2) Train, inspire, &
motivate everyone to tell, record, and share their
stories |
| 3) Provide a Web 2.0
networking infrastructure for sharing stories online |
| 4) Begin to build a
rich & diverse online story repository |
|
|
|

ATTEND? |
| As an LGBTQ person, activist, ally - or just
someone who cares a lot about equality - StorySummit is a unique
and powerful opportunity to learn and help shape our movement's
next steps. |
