The Planet Courage Tour
We're taking Planet Courage on the road, visiting communities across the country to find, celebrate, and share the stories of everyday people creating change. And we're inviting you to help us decide where we go next.
Behind the Scenes
Before you decide where we go next, come see what a Planet Courage visit actually looks like — meeting people, exploring the community, and capturing stories as they unfold at App State.
Planet Courage at App State
That visit to Appalachian State University and the Boone community became a multi-part experience — one built around local stories, solutions, connection, and courage. Here's what it added up to:
16
Local changemakers interviewed
Across three local organizations
3
Original Planet Courage episodes
Produced from those stories
4
Campus and community events
Engaging hundreds around these stories
Every community is different. Every Planet Courage visit can be, too.
Watch
And here's what that work became — three original short documentary episodes, each spotlighting a local organization.
Protecting the Blue Ridge region's natural heritage.
Growing food, community, and resilience.
Building community through sustainable solutions.
You decide.
Planet Courage visits are built with communities, not simply brought to them. Together, we can create an experience that elevates local changemakers, connects people across your community, and leaves behind stories that keep traveling long after the visit ends.
A future Planet Courage stop doesn't need to replicate App State. The experience can be shaped around the people, stories, opportunities, and needs of your community.
The Tour Map
You decide.
Boone, North Carolina is just the beginning. The Planet Courage Tour is growing — and your community could be next.
