SHARE STORY

Stories are such a powerful tool and connector to bring freedom, hope and courage to others.

At this point in the event, take a moment to share your story, and / or other people’s stories.

This invites people in to discover, own and share their own stories.

You could:

Do spotlight stories - quick snippets of a few girls sharing their story / journey
Have a panel of people sharing their stories, advice, experiences, and even answering questions
Have one longer, more in depth story / sharing the journey (you and/or reach out to a speaker or inspirational person in their world - we can also do this with you)
Have as many girls as you want sharing what being REAL looks like for them and what's stopping them or used to stop them (our response card) - could start off with one and then run this activity (details in next section)
Have different people read out letters to their younger self

Check out Eleanor’s story below for inspiration.
