Practice telling the stories our streets need.

You have ideas, experience and concern for the streets you work on or live along. But turning all of that into a clear, human story that others can hear and act on? That’s the hard part.

This informal drop‑in session is a space for transport practitioners, advocates and neighbours to bring one “live” street story or conversation challenge and leave with a more resonant way to talk about it.

Who it’s for

• Transport and planning practitioners who feel like their reports and models don’t quite land with communities or decision‑makers.

• Advocates and local leaders trying to build support for people‑centred, climate‑aware street changes.

• Anyone experimenting with bringing their own street to life and wanting help finding the words.

What we’ll do together (60–90 minutes)

• Prior: You’ll receive a storytelling workbook with an introduction to street storytelling concepts.​

• Share: During the session we introduce each other and share our live street story, project or the conversation we want to have.

• Reflect: small‑group or whole‑group coaching using gentle prompts (who’s your audience, what do they care about, what’s the shared value?).​

• Close: optional sharing and next tiny step (where and with whom you’ll try it next).

What you’ll leave with

• One clearer story or conversation starter tailored to a real audience you care about.

• A simple template you can reuse for other projects.

• A sense of solidarity with others trying to shift how we see and shape our streets.

No slides or polish needed, just you, your idea and a willingness to share.
