Tickets £75 or £100 including 30-minute 1-2-1, including exercises and resources

Have you ever wondered why some stories resonate with readers and audiences, while others fall flat? Why some seem to strike a chord in and across cultures, but others seem tone-deaf?

The answer is: semiotic and cultural understanding.

If you want to tell better, more resonant and more culturally-meaningful stories… you need to understand what your story ideas and brand narratives actually mean, in and across culture.

We've created Semiotics For Storytelling to help writers and storytellers work with cultural change, to tell better & more meaningful stories

Our brand-new Semiotics For Storytelling course offer:
3 x 2-hour teaching, learning and workshopping sessions
DIY take-home exercises, tailored to you and your storytelling challenges
A How-To Guide to take away – and apply to your own work and projects in future
Optional one-to-one session

Through Semiotics For Storytelling, you’ll learn:
How to identify relevant dominant and emergent cultural codes & narratives – digitally, and on the ground through fieldwork and immersive observation
How to spot patterns of cultural change – and work out what's coming next
How to use this knowledge to tell better, more human and more culturally resonant stories – ones that readers and audiences will love

Critical thinking & creative literacy have never been more important, and human-centric, culturally-meaningful storytelling skills are more vital than ever. With Semiotics For Storytelling, we want to help you sharpen all three.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SESSIONS WILL BE RECORDED FOR TICKETHOLDERS ONLY. Ticketholders will be given access to recordings and resource via Dropbox after each session.
