Community regeneration focuses on reviving and strengthening an area's social, economic and cultural health.
This half-day workshop reveals how inclusive stories-telling leads to transformation. Through examples, dialogue and visioning, Dr. Ronald Pate leads participants out of 'default-mode' storytelling, showing how a clear and resonant storyline inspires new vision and action.
