The Global Community Program
In intensive, three-day sessions, we work with advocates to exercise Moth storytelling techniques, and encourage them to use their personal stories to drive change on a global scale. To date, The Moth’s Global Community Program has over 350 graduates from over 40 countries, who are using their personal stories regularly in their advocacy work.
These personal stories cover including:
- Women and Girls/Gender Equality
- Agriculture and Ending Hunger
- Infectious Disease prevention and education
- Overall Global Health
Stories and Tellers
Sitawa Wafula's love for her work is derailed when illness strikes. This Moth story was told at our Global Community Showcase in New York City on 9/18/2017.
Quotes from participants:
“I learned that everyone has a story that if told well, can move others to change and perhaps even move them from a dark place to one of light and hope.”
“This Moth opportunity was really important. It taught me that there is an audience out there that needs to know what we're doing. Telling a story resonates with people. I now look for stories that will make my work more impactful to people who need to know what we're doing.”
“It is okay to address your own vulnerabilities. Moth workshops gave me the tools to do that.”
“I could not stop marveling the power of storytelling and how simple, few but powerful words could quickly build trust in a room full of strangers and people who are not so close to each other.”
