Hope-based reframing clinics
Change the narrative & train your hope muscle
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. (Next one April 20th).
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 practical, five-shift approach anyone can use to base their daily work on the change they hope to see.
