BoP Forum: Telling and Sharing Community Stories |
|
Bay of Plenty Regional CLD Network Forum, 28 February 2011, Eastbay REAP, 27 Pyne Street, Whakatane
Capturing change and progress through telling local community stories is of increasing interest to the public, funders and community change-makers alike. Learning how to identify and share stories that illustrate community capability and changes was the focus of a Forum held last month in Whakatane.
Co-hosted by Inspiring Communities along with highly experienced communicator, Anna Kominik from Ideas Shop, the Forum was also sponsored by Pou Whakaaro, BayTrust, Air New Zealand and Eastbay REAP. The Forum was organised as a result of interest expressed at a 2010 BoP CLD Network Forum and had been rescheduled from December when presenters’ travel was disrupted. Barbara MacLennan, Bay of Plenty Convenor for Inspiring Communities said the purposes were threefold:
- To help communities tell and share their stories of local action and change
- To share effective story telling techniques and tools
- To encourage and inspire more community-led stories that communicate and demonstrate progress and change
