This toolkit introduces story scaffolds, testimonial formats, and symbolic techniques for turning experience into persuasive civic input. Designed for policy engagement, complaints, and collective memory.
How stories shaped resistance, memory, and power.
Before data, there were storytellers. This short film traces the deep roots of storytelling — from oral traditions and carved memory to symbolic petitions and digital testimonies.
Across time and cultures, stories have carried truth when systems would not. They've been weapons of resistance, vessels of memory, and bridges between generations.
Explore how stories have shaped resistance and preserved memory throughout human history.
Stories make harm legible. They bridge formal logic and personal impact. When structured with care, they can influence decisions, protect against deflection, and support other advocates in similar systems.
This module supports storytelling that does not perform pain, but rather builds civic strategy.
A gentle structure for sharing your experience, with space for what matters to you most.
Watch this short video to learn how prompts can help you prepare your voice and shape your story at your pace.
A clear way to write your story for a report, complaint, or hearing — with options for safety and privacy.
These storytelling tools are not generic resources. They are strategic artefacts of authorship. No component may be modified, extracted, or rebranded without permission.
