First Mondays Webinar Series: The Art of Narratives

A New Story:

In a time of unprecedented challenges to our constitutional democracy and democratic institutions, this groundbreaking First Monday Webinar series brings together visionaries, practitioners and thought leaders to craft a new narrative for democracy's future. Moving beyond traditional defensive postures, we explore how innovation, technology, behavioral psychology and storytelling can help build a more vibrant, inclusive and resilient democratic future.

Each session brings together diverse voices to examine how we can craft and implement a compelling new narrative that speaks to people's lived experiences and aspirations. We move beyond simply defending our democracy and the rule of law as concepts to reimagining how these frameworks better serve and engage all citizens as the United States becomes more diverse, communications become more digital and our lives become more complex.

Panel 2: Words as Weapons, Words as Bridges: Reclaiming the Debate

In an era of information chaos, language isn't just communication—it's power. Join us for the second installment of our webinar series on narratives, this time as we talk messaging. We'll discuss how words shape reality, dissect the metaphors that move movements, and think about language that can cut through the noise, tell our story and reach people where they are. We will also begin to explore how words and visuals relate to one another—either enhancing or conflicting with the overall theme.
