Cuba’s story is often told by politicians, headlines, and people who have never experienced the reality on the ground. This workshop is about changing that. Whether you traveled to Cuba, care about Cuba, or simply want to become a stronger storyteller for justice, this workshop is for you. Anyone can join.
Join us for an interactive workshop on storytelling and social media designed for activists, organizers, delegation participants, and community members who want to communicate with more impact.
We’ll explore how personal stories can challenge misinformation, humanize political issues, and inspire action. Then we’ll dive into how to adapt those stories for social media so they can reach wider audiences in creative, effective ways.
