Write to Change the World

A public workshop that interrogates authority and knowledge through group discovery. Learn how to change hearts and minds, be connected to a journalist mentor, and publish your op-ed (if you wish). Open to all, especially underrepresented voices.

<h2>"Write to Change the World" Workshop weekly series - two x 3.5 hour sessions</h2>Our virtual workshops cover the full "Write to Change the World" curriculum, broken into multiple sessions, and use interactive video to connect participants with each other (in pairs, in small groups, and as a cohort) via virtual chat rooms. Because our workshops are based on discovery through group interaction, we ask all participants to commit to the full workshop experience (start to finish). All participants will have follow-up access to our journalist mentors for individual feedback on their op-ed drafts.2-Day Intensive (please note your time zone):<ul><li>Thursday, April 25 from 10:00 am-1:30 pm ET</li><li>Friday, April 26 from 10:00 am-1:30 pm ET</li></ul>Description: Like all our workshops, our virtual interactive workshop <a href="https://www.theopedproject.org/private-programs#programs" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">experiences</a> are based on time-tested models of transformational learning, which can unlock knowledge in powerful and unexpected ways. Workshops are designed to inspire and cultivate a greater sense of social responsibility by clarifying our potential impact on the world. We explore the source of credibility; the patterns and elements of persuasion; the difference between being “right” and being effective; how to preach beyond the choir; and how to think bigger about what you know—to have more impact in the world. Workshops are also designed to generate concrete results. Participants emerge with concrete results (op-ed drafts and more) and they will also receive access to our national network of journalist mentors for individual follow up on their op-ed drafts (contingent on completing the workshop in full).Who should attend? We welcome people of all identities, backgrounds, genders and positions. We seek to always overrepresent the underrepresented, including women. As our curriculum is based on expanding our thinking, it is suitable for those with or without publishing experience.Scholarships The OpEd Project is building a sustainable model for social justice.
