The Story of Self, Us and Now is a tool that can support the development of frames by using storytelling to identify personal values, belief in collective action and the urgency for change (Ganz, 2011). It seeks to engage the head and the heart of others to mobilize and take action for a shared cause. You'll find more examples using The Story of Self, Us, and Now in the More resources section.

Brainstorming and "dot voting" are two approaches you can use to help clarify and prioritize goals.
In dot voting, each person is given dots (for example, stickers or markers) to vote for or rank preferred choices. "Dotmocracy" allows for equal participation in priority decision-making.
