Andy Pring is the founder of Creative Writing for Social Change, an international program that brings together participants from across the world to write powerful personal stories that challenge stereotypes and foster empathy. His workshops create small, deeply supportive groups where participants from diverse backgrounds reflect, listen, and write about experiences that shape how we understand each other and society. Participants have joined from countries including Afghanistan, Sudan, the United States, Gaza, and Guatemala. Andy’s work focuses on the belief that storytelling can shift perspectives, build solidarity across communities, and contribute to long-term social change.
