Systems Storytelling Fellowship
Overview
The Systems Storytelling Fellowship, started in November 2023, was a two-year, co-created learning journey that brought together collectives, by Collective Change Lab, to deepen and expand their understanding of how systems change and how storytelling can be used as a transformative practice within those systems.
Throughout the Fellowship, participants learned, built, and reflected on their approaches to transformation through systems storytelling, while also capturing and sharing insights and resources to support their own work, their collectives, and the broader field.
Fellows collaboratively contributed to documenting practice-based learnings and co-authored guidance to help advance and share systems storytelling practices more widely.
“Stories are like individual stars, narratives are constellations of stories, and cultures are like huge, expanding galaxies. Individual stories by themselves cannot drive change, but when they are linked together, they can immerse us in new narratives that can shift culture in profound ways.”- Jeff Chang, Liz Manne and Erin Potts
