                        Transmedia Ac-vism
Why is This Important?
“By collectivizing ownership of narrative,
transmedia breaks down the “us” and
“them”

It is no longer “you” supporting ”our” work
to help “them.” Rather, it is all of us working
together to meet and overcome a
challenge”
                                       --David Jammy

Social Action: Essential Story Element




               Transmedia Ac-vism
Transmedia Ac-vism
Narrative + Social Action
  Assessing Your Social Change Model
        Co-designing narrative with social action is a challenging
     exercise in achieving simple, engaging stories that yet capture
      nuance, complexity, and multiple perspectives. In any social
     change campaign where you co-design narrative with action
      to create positive impact in a community, ask yourself if your
                 campaign meets these three conditions:



                         + Respect
                         + Relevance
                         + Resonance
