“Water and music – these are the elements of my life, and my path, and my work that I feel so much passion around – these essentials that we all need and that help connect us to our shared humanity.”
Episode 38 of our State of Water podcast features Seth Bernard reporting from the One Water Summit in Tucson, AZ.
A narrative is a shared interpretation of our reality that is grounded on the ideas contained in a collection of stories.
Narrative Change is the theory and practice of creating, communicating, and advancing new ways to interpret our reality while replacing older ones. Narrative change impacts how we make sense of our relationships with ourselves, others, and the broader world and how we view power – who can exercise it, how, and for what purpose. Narrative change work is so integral to movement work that practitioners say that social change moves at the speed of narrative change.
“What a different place this world would be if all of us could lean into learning about each other’s narratives with curiosity and compassion.”
-Seth Bernard at the One Water Summit
