Ethical Storytelling: Honouring the Stories We Share
Ethical storytelling means sharing personal stories in ways that honour the dignity, voice, and lived experience of individuals. In this webinar, we will explore how to apply ethical storytelling principles when collecting and sharing stories of both success and hardship. By doing so, we ensure our storytelling reflects our mission and values while respecting the people at the centre of each story.
