WEBINAR: How to Use Comedy for Social Change

A comedian and an advocate walk into a bar…
This could be the start of a great joke OR a new kind of communication strategy to change hearts and minds on pressing issues like reproductive justice, criminal legal reform, or immigration.
In our work as communicators, we often lean towards the serious, dramatic, and factual. But humor has the power to connect to people in different ways that aren't just the facts. A panel of researchers, funders, and public interest communication experts will share how bringing together unlikely partners to leverage comedy for human rights is the best idea you have (possibly) never considered.
We’ll explore:
- Research about how comedy works for social change
- Examples/case studies of leveraging comedy for social change and human rights
- How and why funders should support this work
- Tips for integrating comedy and other cultural strategies into your work
