To win long-term protection for our rivers, we need to change the stories we tell about them. Join this free training program to find out how.
The stories told in the media about the Murray-Darling Basin make it difficult for regular people to engage – and even harder to see what the solutions are.
We need to tell the stories of our communities, which are bearing the burden of change. Local stories help build understanding and they galvanise people who want to take action.
Over the next few months, we’ll be bringing people together from across northern Victoria for a comprehensive training program to tell stories that are emotionally compelling and get media attention.
The training sessions will be held monthly. You can attend individual sessions, or commit to the whole program.
