REFRESH, RESTORE, RENEW

Creativity & Storytelling, Part I

Come together to collect, create, and curate to energize your communications. Discover through play in an interactive workshop. The same workshop is available in both virtual and in-person formats. Thanks to support from Vermont Humanities, these workshops are offered FREE.

  • REFRESH: Learn something new (collect). Expand your storytelling tools and techniques by gaining skills to takeaway, to share, and to use. 
  • RESTORE: Revive through creative exploration (create). Play in a “story sandbox.” Dig into a tactile story-based playground for hands-on learning to push our boundaries in “challenge by choice” expressive and experiential activities.
  • RENEW: Be ready for the return (curate). Pull it all together with guidance on taking these fresh perspectives and new storytelling ideas back to your daily lives to reinvigorate yourselves and your teams.

  • INSPIRE: We’ll bring the outdoors in. Ignite your nonprofit fundraising and communications with refreshed ideas and information.

Vermont Story Lab strives to weave storytelling through the fabric of nonprofit organizations to expand their reach and impact. We see ourselves as both experts and apprentices to each other, and place a high value on peer-to-peer learning with lots of experimentation sprinkled in! Our mix of offerings include strategic planning and big picture thinking, as well as labs focused on specific skill building and tactical execution.
