February Event:
Join us for an inspiring in-person talk exploring the power of storytelling for creatives, organisations, and purpose-driven businesses.
Brand Storytelling for Good
Speaker: Kevin Karaca (The House Outside)
Date: 10 February
Time: 17:00–19:30
Venue: Casa Hotel, Chesterfield, S41 7JB
Who it’s for: Derbyshire creatives, community leaders, digital innovators, and growing businesses
As the world seeks more meaning and belonging, the stories we tell at work, in our organisations, and in our communities matter more than ever. This talk explores how storytelling shapes behaviour, culture, and our sense of what’s possible. We’ll look at why the most powerful stories today aren’t about persuasion or performance, but about helping people feel seen, capable, and part of something bigger.
Through examples and provocations, Kevin invites us to rethink the role of storytelling. Using it as an act of care and responsibility, to paint a more hopeful picture of the future.
The event is free to attend and by Create Growth D2 Hub and is a partnership between the University of Derby, Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council and funded through DCMS funding.
