Aspen Institute: Stories That Shape Communities – Storytelling as a Trust-Building Practice

The Aspen Institute is hosting Stories That Shape Communities: Storytelling as a Trust-Building Practice on Tuesday, August 4^th, starting at 2:00 PM.

This webinar explores how storytelling serves as both a practice and a pathway for building trust. Across communities, storytelling is emerging as a powerful way to preserve cultural heritage, strengthen community identity, and foster authentic relationships. Whether through oral history projects, programming, or community-led narratives, organizations are using storytelling not only as a focus of their work but also as a strategy for engaging residents, amplifying local voices, and creating spaces for connection and belonging. Community leaders, practitioners, and storytellers will explore how shared narratives help build, repair, and sustain trust across communities and sectors.
