The stories that changed us in 2016
From Bhutan to Brisbane, we’ve loved working with changemakers in our Stories For Impact workshops to help them use mobile phones and affordable technology to get their stories out into the world. But we were curious…what are those changemakers up to now and how are their stories changing the world?
In our very first Stories For Impact Live broadcast, we caught up with three stories that are creating waves around the world.
- Meg & Gab from Walk Sew Good joined us to talk about why they are walking across Asia on foot to tell the story of where our clothes come from
- Avis Mulhall from Think Act Change was on the ground at Standing Rock in South Dakota to share the message of the movement to block the Dakota Access Pipeline and galvanised supporters around the world
- Glen from Bush Heritage Australia talked to us about what we can learn about ‘Slow Change’ from the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan and why he decided to embark on his own storytelling journey
