In recent years, civil society organizations have faced growing challenges regarding their legitimacy and public recognition. Perceptions and ideas often persist that do not reflect the true complexity, value, and real impact of the sector.
With the aim of reflecting on how public narratives are built and strengthening trust in the work of organizations, RACI has launched the virtual series “Reframing the Narrative: How to Build Positive Narratives about Civil Society.”
Throughout three dialogue spaces —local, regional, and global— the series will address the main myths and discourses surrounding the sector, analyze their structural causes, and explore new ways of communicating its contribution to sustainable development and democratic life.
Series Agenda and Registration
Participation is free and open to all, with prior registration required. You can join any of the sessions you wish.
