Training Course
24 November - 1 December 2025 | Castle Saunderson International Scout Centre, Ireland
Change the Story, Change the World (CSCW) is a 6-day training course which aims to develop the capacity of youth workers to tackle poverty, inequality, climate change and other global issues through storytelling and global education. With this course we want to facilitate an experience to reflect on all these critical aspects of the information society, share and develop knowledge and competences, and explore the impact that mass communication is having on intolerance, development, democracy and global citizenship.
This project idea was born after years of successful trainings and collaboration with partners in the EU and internationally in the field of storytelling, critical media literacy and development education (or global education). We have hosted three editions our own training "Spinning a Yarn" which focused on similar topics with more of a focus on how to create new narratives to counteract hate speech & single story media. Additionally, we have hosted the first edition of CSCW in 2022 as a blended training course (due to Covid). We have refined our content for a full face-to-face second edition.
Our overall goal for CSCW is to develop the capacity of youth workers to tackle poverty, inequality, climate change and other global issues through storytelling and global citizenship education.
