The Curve: The person comes first; developing a practical approach to ethical storytelling
- Type: Training
- Date: 02/09/2026 at 1:30pm - 3:00pm
- Location: Online
Join Third Sector Lab's training initiative, The Curve, for an online session on ethical storytelling.
In the second of Jo Hamilton’s case study sessions, you’ll learn how to develop a Stories Hub – a structured system for identifying, collecting, storing and using stories safely and effectively – so your charity has powerful, authentic content ready when opportunities arise.
Drawing on real-world examples and practical tools, the session covers every stage of the storytelling journey, from making the first approach to a potential storyteller through to gaining informed consent, creating compelling content and managing stories responsibly over time.
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- understand how to apply ethical storytelling principles in practice
- develop a process for building a Stories Hub
- confidently engage with storytellers throughout the storytelling process
