Audio is one of the most intimate storytelling mediums there is. A voice in your ear. A story well told. A question that makes someone pause and really think... We're bringing that skillset to Sydney, with our first ever Audio Storytelling workshop - an extension of Stories for Impact into a whole new medium. Whether you're dreaming up your first podcast episode, want to properly document the stories from your community, or you're just curious what makes audio hit differently, this one's for you. No gear, no experience needed. Just bring your smartphone and your stories. Spots are limited!

Month after month, our Co-Working Days at the Lab keeps growing. The community is expanding, and after many chats and coffee breaks sharing ideas with our residents and community, we're excited to introduce "Knowledge Exchange": a new addition to our next Co-Working Day happening on Wed September 30th. 🦉Knowledge Exchange is a series of one-hour sessions led by the people in our community. Throughout the day, members share what they know and love: from systems change frameworks and conflict transformation, to building your digital ecosystem, playful ways to reset, and a dance to close the day 🙂. Join one session, a few, or all of them, or simply come along to co-work as you usually do. 👉🏽Swipe through to see what's on! Got something you'd love to share with the Lab?

🌟 Join us for a special evening celebrating the latest Pathways to Purpose cohort and the impact films they’ve created alongside organisations working for positive social and environmental change. 🎬 With the support of the City of Sydney - over 11 weeks, emerging filmmakers have developed their craft through ethical storytelling, the Story Canvas method, production mentoring and hands-on collaboration with purpose-driven organisations. Now, it’s time to bring those stories to the big screen. Come along to watch the films, hear from the people behind them and celebrate the creativity, learning and partnerships that have grown throughout the program. Link in comments to book your spot, we would love to see you there! Mikey Leung Natasha Akib Peter Dowson Kumkum Dubey 🌱

This could well be a scene from Inception, but it's not 🙃. Just a little sneak peek at how our online webinars come together behind the scenes. 🎬 Multiple screens, real-time production, and a lot of what storytelling is about. Our next Story Canvas Webinar is happening on Tuesday September 22 at 1pm. If you've been curious about what storytelling is, or you're not sure if you got a story to tell, this one's for you. Did we mention it's free? 🤓 Link in comments to register. See you there!

We've been working on something in the background, and we're excited to finally share it with the community. 🤓 After many years of running our Stories for Impact courses, where people from all walks of life come to learn how to tell their story, we've designed a new workshop structure, built to make it easier to start learning the craft, no matter where you're starting from.🌟 Same craft, five ways to move through it. A free webinar to start. A half day. A full day. A two-day intensive. Or entirely self-paced, online. 👉🏽 The next round of workshops runs in September and October, across Sydney - Gadigal, Melbourne - Naarm, and Noosa - Kabi Kabi. 📍Follow the link in comments to learn all about the next round.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves 🙃. This is exactly what our co-working days are about: the unexpected conversations, the shared meals, the connections that happen when people just show up. If this sounds like your kind of day, come join us on Wednesday 29 July. And don't miss what's on after hours: a conversation on working with government with Amelia Loye (Engage2) and Zoé Kennedy (Spark & Co). See you there 👊🏽
