Resources & Support
Resources That Build
Compassionate Communities
Narrative 4’s learning resources support facilitators and partners in their engagement work. Built to be practical and flexible, they offer guidance before, during, and after experiences. They follow Narrative 4’s principles of curiosity, imagination, deep listening, and positive action and can be used in classrooms and communities. Use these resources to prepare, lead, and keep growing your practice.
Narrative 4 Advising
Narrative 4 facilitators are part of a robust network of educators across the globe dedicated to building connection and compassion. They are supported by Narrative 4’s team of advisors. If you’re a trained facilitator in the US, you have access to National Advising Sessions, new opportunities for facilitator skill building, and a dedicated support team to help you implement Narrative 4 in your classroom. Not in the US? Please reach out to the N4 team member for your country.
