Choose Your Own Adventure / COYA: A Strategic Framework for Narrative Building
Salzburg Global Fellows have developed a tool for designing empathy-driven narrative interventions capable of bridging divides in pluralistic societies.
CYOA introduces an adaptable, empathy-centered approach for creating narrative interventions that respond to today’s social, cultural, and political complexities. We’ve been creating this paper collaboratively out of our working group of artists, cultural leaders, strategists, and practitioners. The framework grew out of a prototype we first explored during the Salzburg Global session. Since then, our team has expanded it into a comprehensive tool designed for individual practitioners, cultural institutions, and funders.
