Event

Doing justice to stories from lived experience

27 November 2025, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Location: Online

Think tank: Joseph Rowntree Foundation

This event hosted by UK think tank the Joseph Rowntree Foundation explores how we can do justice to lived experience stories through effective framing.

This webinar in our Talking about Homes series will explore how we can do justice to lived experience stories through effective framing.

Stories from people’s lived experience can help to humanise the conversation about how to improve our housing system. They can shine a light on what isn’t working and what solutions are needed – and make a compelling case for change.

Just like any communications, how we frame these stories impacts how they are heard and understood. So, to do people’s stories justice, we need to consider how we frame them.
