The Role of Storytelling
Storytelling is not an afterthought, it is the thread that connects trust, evidence, and impact.
It shows how change happens, and how individual actions become part of a larger story.
Behind every activated target lies a person, a place, and a decision. When these stories are told clearly and honestly, they give others the confidence to act. Communities define their progress in their own words, making the results authentic and relatable.
This is how 169to1® moves from idea to impact.
What You Can Do
For Cities: Apply to host a TEDx: 169to1® event. Represent your target. Share your story.
For Institutions: From January 2026, activate one SDG target. Track your progress. Put forward a speaker.
For Youth: Join the Born in 2015 storyteller stream. Share your vision. Shape the future.
For Everyone: Watch the story unfold. Follow the ripple. Be part of the next wave of voices.
TEDx Making Local Action Visible
Turning commitments into evidence, and evidence into change.
169to1® makes that work visible. It brings local action into the global record, shifting the focus from what was promised to what was delivered.
This is not about performance, it is about proof. It ensures that the work of schools, clinics, councils, cooperatives, and youth groups is seen, shared, and remembered.
Because in the end, the real measure of the SDGs will be how they were implemented, one voice, one ripple, one target at a time.
The Commitment
Each host city must have at least one institution activating a verified SDG target
Host partners can include schools, universities, SMEs, NGOs, or local governments
169to1® will provide a full Event-in-a-Box toolkit: branding, speaker guides, coaching materials, and templates
Every event is local. Every voice is real. Every story is proof that change is already happening.
