They have asserted themselves as critical partners in sustainable development, proposing innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. Using the power of ICTs and social media, young people have a vehicle like never before to engage and participate. From entrepreneurs developing new technologies, to creating green jobs and more sustainable economies, young people are at the forefront of development.

STORYTELLING FOR IMPACT
BUILDING A TRIBE THAT MATTERS
by Red Bull Amaphiko 29th June, 4pm and 1st July, 1pm Grand Ballroom 3
by Zikry Kholil from The Incitement, Malysia 1st July, 1pm Grand Ballroom 2
Strong stories are powerful. Telling your story in the right way allows you to utilize this power, cut through the noise and grow your impact. We start with a quick introduction to storytelling theory, followed by highly interactive exercises with a focus on translating those theoretical learnings into actionable practices to tell your own story. The session ends with an exercise to simplify your story and tell it in an impactful way in a true elevator pitch scenario.
Ever heard this myth where “Build it and they will come”? Well if you build it with a vision and purpose that resonates with many, then that’s when you’re doing it right. Anyone can start a movement, anyone can create a cause. But if you want to build more than a passive, super proactive community it will take guts, sweat and heart. A community of raving, die-hard members is never built over night. Despite the hard work, there are many benefits to creating a thriving, enduring tribe. In this Workshop in Building a Tribe that Matters, we will teach you how to start your very own tribe, your movement, your cause right from your seat. The most important part here is where we will show you how you could make great use of your tribe in taking assertive action and let it grow organically bit by bit.
