Influence lies at the heart of Africa’s journey towards transformation, shaping perceptions, policies, and pathways for development. Now, more than ever, storytelling emerges as a critical tool in the arsenal of communicators, offering a potent means to wield influence effectively. This panel and virtual workshop will delve into the profound intersection of Influence and Storytelling for Africa’s Development.

Throughout this engaging session hosted by LEAP Africa, participants will embark on a transformative journey, gaining invaluable insights and practical skills to harness the power of storytelling for positive change. Attendees will explore various facets of storytelling, from visual narratives to data-driven storytelling, cultural preservation, and brand building.

By actively participating in interactive exercises, discussions, and real-world case studies, participants will not only enhance their understanding of storytelling techniques but also cultivate the ability to craft compelling narratives that drive meaningful impact. This isn’t just a passive learning experience; it’s an opportunity to immerse oneself in the art and science of storytelling, to collaborate with peers, and to emerge equipped with actionable strategies to shape Africa’s narrative.

Entry is limited to 100 participants, only the first 100 people to join the call will be admitted to the virtual session, but other participants can join via LEAP Africa’s YouTube channel.
