Storytelling for Community Change

Posted on May 8, 2012

I clicked on EYCDI Forums to read the 6-word stories you have submitted about how you are creating change in your community. Well, not a lot of submissions yet, but some powerful stories:

Once we understood, we took action.
Children are sent to change us.
Life is fast, change is slow.
Celebrating small successes, creating change together!

Submit your stories on the Storytelling for Community Change Forum and Jennifer Harvey (Community Engagement Coordinator, HELP), the moderator for this forum, will enter your name in a prize draw for great community development books!
