Narrative for all

Hope-based reframing clinics are a free space to grow hope into action. We run these to help you reframe and test your messages, content and strategies.

It’s also a space for community, where we can meet like-minded people around the world, step back for an hour and rethink our politics and activism together.

Come for the hope. Stay for the community.

The details

When: The third Monday of every month at 15:00 CET, 09:00 EST, 18.30 IST.

Where: Zoom, with an all-day chat feed on our substack to keep the conversation going.

Who it’s for: anyone who wants to reframe or test their messages. Maybe you have been to a hope-based workshop and want to keep training the hope muscle, you have a new approach to test, or you are stuck with something you cannot make “hope-based”. Or you are just hope-curious and want to see what all the fuss is about.

How its works: show up with your message/content. We break into groups and start reframing it.

What to prepare: Pen, paper and a nice warm drink & snack

Wait! There’s more!

We also hold special editions of the reframing clinic on burning issues that lots of people are working on. We create a space for people in different contexts and organisations to come together and discuss a shared narrative change goal.

A little more about hope-based communication

Hope-based communication is a reframing tool for everyday activism. It is a simple five-shift tool designed to help anyone apply narrative change and brain science to their activism or politics.

This is our basic worksheet that we will use in our clinics.

Here’s how it works:

• It starts with taking a blank sheet of paper and drawing a line down the middle. You name the “from”, what you are against and then articulate the opposite or alternative.

Hundreds of activists around the world are using hope-based to change how they feel, think, speak and act.
