ALL FILM & EVENTS

  1. Storytelling Workshop: The Power of Storytelling for Engagement (2 CM Credits)

    SFUFF 2017 / 120 mins
    While many professions have incorporated storytelling and video as standard practice, most urban planners are new to these tools. This training session will introduce planners to storytelling and video as tools for outreach and engagement on all types of urban planning projects. Storytelling through video offers a medium that combines story structure, music, and dynamic visuals that unfold over time. These elements can be combined with traditional planning tools such as graphs, maps and charts to create compelling, relatable and memorable outreach campaigns to reach a broad audience, but especially populations not conversant in planning concepts or terminology. Video and storytelling are important and economical tools for the planning profession to use as it strives to be as inclusive as possible. Previous experience in storytelling or video-making not required. In fact, an open mind is highly encouraged.
