Background

During our annual conference, the Civic Tech Innovation Forum 2022 (CTIF22) themed Unplugged (but still connecting) in October, we will once again showcase African civic tech innovations through our exhibition. In preparation, we would like to host a capacity building session for the community focused on how to market/sell/promote/showcase your civic tech initiative, especially for different audiences such as funders, researchers, users, governments etc.

Capacity Building Overview

CTIN will be hosting a Masterclass titled Successful Storytelling That Builds Supportive Communities on the 29th of June 2022. The session will run from 14:00 to 16:00. This masterclass will be facilitated by Janice Scheckter. This Masterclass is intended to equip our Network with storytelling strategies and tips they can employ when showcasing, promoting and/or telling their stories to different audiences. Further, in this session, we will explore how stories and storytelling can be a collaborative process where all the actors in the story play their roles. There are always good stories in the civic [tech] space, but the failure to capture them authentically and deliver them in compelling ways remains a challenge.

TAKE-AWAYS: We will explore how to collaboratively build the story while building a storytelling community in this session. We will delve into the value of community when it comes to knowledge management and knowledge mobilization.  You will leave with a toolkit that capacitates you to build and share stories in and with the community.
