About the session
This inspiration session, delivered within the Urban Imaginaries program, introduces the
concept of storytelling, and how it can act as a tool to enable system change. Building on the
work done by CPI, the session showcases how stories can be a vehicle for building empathy,
changing mindsets and learning, and thereby lead to system changes in cities. The session also
touches upon factors such as what makes it hard to tell such stories, what differentiates a good
story, and gives real-life examples of how people are using stories to drive systems change
along with tips and tools to build such stories. The session builts on the insights and findings
deriving from the ‘Storytelling for Systems Change: Insights from the field’ report.
