morgan&co: Ethical storytelling for social change

About the learning community

The ethical storytelling for social change learning community was a space for social enterprises committed to shifting narratives and telling more ethical stories with and about the communities they support, belong to and/or represent. Convened as a space of solidarity, this community brought together those working in and alongside the margins - those who are often overlooked yet hold deep practice wisdom and powerful stories to share.

Together, members explored ethical storytelling principles, co-created resources, and shared their experiences in a generative environment. The goal was not only to support each other in better storytelling practices, but to lift the capability of the broader Australian social enterprise sector through collective insight, creativity, and care.
