Hope-based storytelling

THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER

Hope as a Strategy for Change.

  • Thursday 1 October

How can hope become a driving force for change? At this year's GRASP, you'll meet Thomas Coombes, the creator of hope-based storytelling, who will explore how hope-based narratives can shape political movements and activism around the world.

Hope-based storytelling is rooted in a fundamental understanding of how our brains work. It is a strategic approach to change that focuses on crafting engaging, hopeful stories about the future we want to build. By grounding narratives in hope while pointing to realistic and tangible pathways forward, this approach creates the conditions for lasting and meaningful change.

Thomas Coombes has spent more than two decades working in global political communications, including as Brand Director at Amnesty International and as a speechwriter for the European Commission.
