After sharing our stories, research and experience, and after engaging each other in active discussions over two days at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University, we agreed upon these guiding principles:
-
That we each have critical perspectives to offer, based on our unique experiences, outlooks, and fields of interest.
-
That improving the way we tell stories requires a purposeful, dedicated effort informed by the best research, applied science, and lessons from practitioners in the field.
-
That our shared stories become stronger through exchange among diverse individuals, functions, sectors, and communities.
-
That we must all be advocates at our organizations and in our fields for a sustained commitment to bringing an understanding of narrative to everything we do.
-
That communication at and across all levels is key to working together effectively on shared narratives.
Finally, we believe that the continued collaboration of a diverse and engaged Narratives community is essential, and will strive to nurture this community and the sharing of information and practice as we prepare for the future.
