As part of the Eco Ambassador Summer 2021 program on "Life Below Water: Storytelling with ArcGIS", this session will guide participants to learn and practice the basics of using the ArcGIS StoryMaps platform to build compelling stories around your data, including using the maps you've been working on with ArcGIS Online!

We'll have a team of storytelling experts guide the session, and will cover both broad storytelling skills, as well as step-by-step guidance and practice using the ArcGIS StoryMaps platform, including:

• Andrew Revkin - Founding Director, Initiative on Communication & Sustainability, Earth Institute, Columbia University
• Brighton Kaoma - Global Director, UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network - Youth

The session will be moderated by:

• Dr. Radhika Iyengar - Director of Education at the Center for Sustainable Development

We'll also include time for participants to share their storytelling ideas and ask questions in small groups.

In preparation for the workshop, we suggest participants review the StoryMaps content on our Eco Ambassador Summer 2021 Learn Path, "ArcGIS StoryMaps: Storytelling that Resonates", and "Plan and Outline your StoryMap".
