Tell Me Your Story: Event 1

About the event

Emotional appeals are a central part of political communication. In Europe we thought we do things in a different way, namely that our politics is funded on facts and knowledge, and convincing people requires solely detailed programs and great policy papers. But we can observe that the success of populist and alt-right movements is based on something very different, namely on emotions and good story telling. Luckily, more and more liberals understood that, and showed that they can also be successful by using this strategy.

Tell Me Your Story is a platform for learning and exchanging experiences on storytelling and emotions in communications for liberal organizations. It allows liberal communicators to discus best practices on fighting populism/nationalism and learn from top communication experts how to sell a good story.
