The project asks: what role does storytelling play in galvanising \u2018ordinary people\u2019 to take action for economic justice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She will run workshops to promote our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"economic justice resources (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/economicinjustice.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\">economic justice resources<\/a> and engage volunteers in communities, aiming to galvanise local groups in the Midlands to bring about change in the economic issues important to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abi\u2019s work will lead to developing more insights and knowledge about storytelling as \u2018communication for action\u2019. This will be invaluable and will greatly inform JtoJ\u2019s future work throughout the UK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the six months, Nottingham University will host a symposium to share the knowledge gained during the workshops, the exchange of effective practice about using the JtoJ Economic (In)Justice resources to train volunteers, and the impact of storytelling on galvanising for change. Abi will be writing a report on the impact of the resources on partner volunteers and the data gathered from the workshops and interviews will lead to an academic publication on the power of storytelling for economic justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This work will be transforming for Journey to Justice\u2019s work and mission as we continue to develop and expand.&nbsp; Abi is a superb ambassador for JtoJ and we are delighted she\u2019ll be taking on this new post from July. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be posting updates about Abi\u2019s fellowship work, so watch this space!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We wish Abi all the best for the next six months and thank her very much for successfully applying for this new source of funding for JtoJ.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Abi Rhodes, our wonderful Economic (In)Justice Project coordinator, has been successful in her application for a 6-month Fellowship with the University of Nottingham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8341,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[57,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8337"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8337"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8344,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8337\/revisions\/8344"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
