Storytelling and Impact (2022)
Storytelling and Impact

Laure de Peretti de la Rocca
Facilitator
Community connector, storytelling advocate and impact believer.
Working from 2009 to 2015 as a journalist in Paris for the French channel Histoire TV, Laure learnt how important the stories being told shape our minds and our societies, and how understanding the past can forge a better future and influence our actions and the answers we offer for existing problems. It led her to push for a plurality of narratives being issue-driven, investigative, inclusive and multi-voiced.
From 2015 to 2020, Laure has been building communities and strategies for many different organizations. She mainly worked for Seedstars, a company sourcing and supporting impact entrepreneurs in the Global South. Convinced that culture and arts are not only the most beautiful expression of our beliefs, emotions and tales but also a strong vector for those to be shared and arouse empathy; Laure decided to reunite her two passions: bringing people together and curating transformative stories. That is how she started to work with David Rimer, developing the initiatives at the StoryBoard Collective since its creation in 2020.
