Knowledge, Narratives, and Numbers: Strategic Storytelling as a Foundation toward Transformation
Get ready to enhance your organization’s capabilities during Winter 2023-2024. Our upcoming program offers asynchronous sessions with more buildable skills for health departments and individual practitioners. Take advantage of this opportunity to access valuable content and empower your team. Stay tuned for further updates!
Series Overview:
“Knowledge, Narratives, and Numbers: Strategic Storytelling as a Foundation toward Transformation” serves as an opportunity to dive deeper into a previous Project ECHO session topic: “Storytelling: Utilizing Varying Methods of Data Collection to Effectively Communicate Needs.” This ECHO Series will explore how: (1) structural and implicit biases, (2) incomplete, non-human-centered narratives, and (3) the persistent undervaluing of Indigenous voices uphold power imbalances in data collection in Public Health.
Presenters and panelists will explore why, how, when, and where transformational change must occur in data collection and management to truly center historically excluded people, their communities, and the health equity work that they continue.
Prior to the 2023-2024 winter launch of the series, we highly suggest viewing the previous Project ECHO series “Shift Your Power: Advancing from Transactional Practices to Transformational Progress”. The series is available through our Resource Catalog, which is linked below.
