# About the Workshop.

Storytelling is a powerful knowledge-sharing tool that can help you connect with your audience, get your message across, and be memorable-at conferences, retreats, meetings, and anywhere you speak about your work. It’s also useful when describing the impact of your work to funders and the general public, or when developing knowledge translation products, such as videos.

# We will:

• Explore the art of storytelling as a method to communicate your work, engage others, and inspire action
• Examine real examples of stories that have been developed based on scientific projects and annual reports
• Debunk five myths of science storytelling
• Learn how to prepare, structure, and tell a story well
• Discuss the importance of considering/measuring a story’s impact

Presented by the ONtario Nonprofit Network (ONN).
