From Exploitation to Empathy: Gaining Consent for Ethical Storytelling

with Caliopy Glaros, founder of Philanthropy Without Borders

Monday, September 12, 2022
12:00pm - 1:00pm ET / 9:00am - 10:00am PT
Virtual Event (via Zoom)


What does ethical storytelling mean for brands and businesses? 

A quick Google search on ethical storytelling mentions the need for “informed consent,” but what exactly does that mean? Why do brands need it, and how it can get operationalized?

 

In this workshop, the founder of Philanthropy Without Borders Caliopy Glaros (She/Her) will be your guide as you:

  • Understand how exploitative storytelling impacts organizations, customers, and communities

  • Distinguish between exploitation, sympathy, and empathy in storytelling

  • Explore several approaches to tell more ethical and equitable stories and begin generating ideas for ways to apply them

By the end of this workshop, you'll define what ethical storytelling means for you and identify practices, principles, and guidelines that could be applied in your process. You'll also be motivated to make changes, large and small, to better employ ethical storytelling in your daily life and work.

Whether you are a change-maker in a large organization or running your own small shop, you will leave this session with an applicable strategy and concrete process you can begin utilizing immediately.
