How can storytelling promote social change? This course develops skills for using stories to deliver messages that affect audiences and shape attitudes for social change. Learn how building empathy and developing characters can offer multiple perspectives on complex problems. Social change happens when listeners or viewers identify with messages delivered through a protagonist they identify with. Theatre artists and professional storytellers offer expertise about how to craft a story that develops empathy and delivers impact.

This engaging course through Michigan Online is a non-academic course that is designed to help you achieve the success that you desire.

Drawing on decades of scientific research, you will learn what the most successful people do differently than others, why IQ is not the most significant predictor of success (and can sometimes backfire), and why many commonly held beliefs hold people back from achieving their goals.

Join this Michigan Online non-academic course called the "Thrive in Trying Times Teach-Out", a free learning experience and global conversation to consider how positive practices might help you navigate this time of stress.

You will learn with experts from the Center for Positive Organization at the University of Michigan Stephen M. Ross School of Business about how you can create these conditions using specific, evidence-based practices from the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship. Throughout the TeachOut, experts will share concrete actions you can take, both as an individual and as family, an organization, and community.
