AKO Storytelling Institute
About us
We work at the intersection of storytelling and social change. As a part of UAL's new Social Purpose Group, our mission is to enable storytellers and campaigners to make a greater social impact through their work. Through interdisciplinary experimentation and collaboration, we develop evidence-based approaches to the theory and practice of storytelling-for-change.
