This week on FutureLearn three fantastic change agents
are sharing how they have used stories to create change

I’ll tell you what’s the greatest
power under heaven, and that is
public opinion – the ruling belief in
society about what is right and
what is wrong, what is honourable
and what is shameful. That’s the
steam that is to work the engines.

If we want people to take action,
we have to connect with their emotions through values

@Sch4Change #S4CA
Stories not only teach us how to act –
they inspire us to act.
Stories communicate our values through
the language of the heart, our emotions.
And it is what we feel – our hopes, our
cares, our obligations – not simply what we
know that can inspire us with the courage to
act.”

Speech to the
2004 Democratic Convention
SELF
My presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father
was a foreign student… My grandfather was a cook, a
domestic servant to the British [who] had larger dreams
for his son…
US
I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger
American story… and that in no other country on Earth
is my story even possible…
NOW
This year, in this election, we are called to reaffirm our
values and our commitments…
Senator Barack Obama (2004)
@Sch4Change #S4CA
NOW
Whether or not we feel hope now, we have to act… I
want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I
want you to act… The emissions are increasing and
that is the only thing that matters.
US
We are only seeing the beginning. I think that
change is on the horizon and the people will stand
up for our future.
SELF
I have always been that girl in the back who doesn’t
say anything. I thought I couldn’t make a difference
because I was too small… Now I see, this is part of
who I am.
Greta Thurnberg (2019)

Pursuing social change is more
of an art than a science…
It’s about reading power. Building
relationships. Framing issues.
Honing messages. Mobilising
supporters. Bringing pressure to
bear.

Prepare your stories in advance.
Practice them until
they’re comfortable.
When you have them in your mind,
you need only look for an
opportunity to use them.

Editor's Notes

  • #9 Kathryn’s public narrative
  • #11 From cacophony to symphony
  • #12 From cacophony to symphony
  • #15 Framing – think of a nurse… Olly could you create a whole-slide montage of all the horrendous passive female images that come up when one Googles ‘nurse’?
  • #16 https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/aug/22/health-trust-turns-down-demeaning-fancy-dress-nurses-donation
  • #18 Framing matters How the frame we use makes all the difference Re-cap on the options they had with Boaty McBoatface – how they chose to frame it – how they went wrong Pivot into looking at how we, through telling different narratives, can frame issues in ways that move the world Jessica Anderson Jessica Anderson, who has been working for the Royal London Hospital’s acute admission unit for seven years, was aiming to become the fastest female marathon runner dressed as a nurse but her scrubs and trousers did not match the uniform criteria. Guinness World Record (GWR) rules stipulate that a nurse’s uniform must include a blue or white dress, a white pinafore apron and a traditional white nurse’s cap. Anderson was told that scrubs could be confused with the fancy dress requirements for a doctor’s uniform. Jessica’s reaction? “Some of the nurses I work with do wear dresses but mostly we wear scrubs or a tunic and trousers. I’ve certainly never seen a male nurse wearing a dress to work”
  • #19 So Emotions help us understand what we value in the world. Why did the story of Alice work ? So why was this story powerful? Why do we respond differently when we hear about Alice rather than when we see the policy data and financial balance sheet? So public narrative when used intentionally for a purpose to connect with others to move to action is a powerful skills set and leadership gift. When we hear stories that make us feel a certain way those stories remind us of our core values. We experience our values through emotions. Then we are prepared to take action on those values. Through our emotions we are more likely to take action Research by Martha Nussbaum a Moral philosopher, tells us that people who have a damaged (a-mig-da- la) Amygadla the part of the brain which controls emotions, when faced with decisions can come up with many options from which to choose but cannot make a decision because the decision rests upon judgements of value. If we cannot feel emotion we cannot experience values that orient us to the choices we must make Shortly we will be thinking about the lived experiences that have moved you to action…we’ll be drawing on those a few minutes as you start to craft your own stories.
