Workshop
Visual Storytelling
for Non-Profits
How your organisation can stand out through strong images and reach and mobilise (also younger) people emotionally.
Most NGOs and non-profit organisations are in a dilemma: due to the high age structure of their community, they urgently need to win over the next generations. But younger target groups in particular are on the move on strongly visually oriented channels and perceive the classic NGO and non-profit visual language as dusty – and prefer to keep clicking.
Symptom of a deeper issue: the visual language of many non-profits dates back to the 70s and 80s. The crying Ethiopian girl with the hunger belly – such images may still reach older generations, but they are more likely to be rejected and lost by the majority of the target groups.
In the Visual Storytelling for Non-Profits workshop with Storywerk coach Nadja Masri, your teams will develop an awareness of a contemporary and consistent visual language for all communication areas in two modules that build on each other. In order to then practically adapt and use this depending on the medium or channel with tools from the areas of image editing and documentary photography.
So that your organisation stands out with a memorable, convincing and modern visual language. And can emotionally reach and mobilise its target groups with contemporary visual storytelling.
