From Staford Social Innovation Review (SSIR):

Join Stanford Social Innovation Review for How to Measure Narrative Change, a two-part, 180-minute webinar on October 1 and October 8, 2025.  
 

Learn guiding principles for designing equitable and adaptable narrative change evaluations using a simple framework that’s flexible enough to work across projects. Then, develop a clear plan for applying it to your own narrative work.
 

In the program, you will:

• Understand key concepts in the use of storytelling for social change
• Learn a four-part framework for measuring narrative change
• Apply your work in an interactive session, building on a worksheet that can be used across a variety of projects
• Interact with leading researchers and practitioners in the fields of evaluation and strategic communications

Session 1

In the first session, learn the narrative change landscape and how your approach to narrative shapes your approach to evaluation.
