Are you a media or communication professional who would like to reinforce his/her knowledge on Human Rights?

The summer university Media and Human Rights program is a three weeks course with a full program of seminars, case studies, collaborations with Swiss Medias and visits to international institutions in Geneva! This course takes place in September, in Geneva, Switzerland.

Alongside with the 24th Human Rights Council, this training is an opportunity to discover the Human Rights capital, gain knowledge on how to produce news on Human Rights issues, and collaborate with other professionals at an international level.

Thanks to the 50+ communicators who attended our lunchtime seminar last Friday on Storytelling: tool or trend? by Kami Lamakan, from The Loop Agency.

Kami opened by talking about the power of stories; how they can explain why we do what we do, give people purpose, make sense of complexity and bring strategy to life.

He went on to explain how stories can bridge the gap between the communications function and the general communications taking place across the organization.

Perhaps most powerfully, he demonstrated the role of storytelling by including several of his own within his presentation and showing us a stunning example storytelling in practice through a video kindly shared with permission from one of his clients.

Some photos of the event are also available on our Flickr stream, accessible on the right side bar of this page.

Stay tuned for upcoming workshops and another lunch event before the summer break.
