A Call to Action: Documenting Santa Barbara’s Art & Activism
Since March of 2020, we have been challenged and reshaped -- as a community and individuals -- by our experiences living through the COVID-19 pandemic and renewal of abolitionist and anti-racist activist movements. Amidst the shift to remote learning and working, UCSB Library’s Special Research Collections initiated two ongoing projects: the Santa Barbara Black Lives Matter Community Archives and the COVID-19 Community Archives.

Story to Standing Ovation
Would you like to learn how to develop and deliver a Talk that will captivate your audience because everything is on the line?
Do you have a 20-minute High-Stakes Talk at a conference coming up, and you want in-person feedback on it?
Have you been invited to do a Talk and want one-on-one coaching to know how to develop it?
Are you speaking at your next board meeting, and you need to persuade the participants so you'd like some live recommendations on it?
Is it time for you to share your idea that can affect change in your industry, and you'd like to work with a team that has done that?
Does that thought of 'why me?' prevent you from developing a Talk that can change lives?
Is your idea that can change the world stuck in your mind, and you wish you could work with experts to help you get it out?
We have worked with Companies and Organizations locally to help them create a Story Strategy for the various audiences they work with: their clients, employees, donors, and the general public.
This three-day workshop is held at the New Vic Theater, Downtown Santa Barbara, and will be fully COVID compliant for all attendees' safety.
