E-learning / 28 October – 18 November 2020 | Online (zoom), Czech Republic
Do you want to learn about the art and science of STORYTELLING and how to create and share STORIES effectively? Register to these online workshops, designed for educators and trainers which involve a lot of exercises, interaction and fun. (7th Edition)
The human mind evolved with stories and is shaped by them. Good storytelling can motivate people to do incredible things and is a tremendous advantage in communication. Education and learning are no exception.
Creating and sharing stories is a gift innate to all of us. Join these workshops and find out more.
We will share inspiration from some famous, especially successful examples, put them in practice with individual and group exercises, and share tips on how to build stories to create engaging activities, inspire learning and promote the change we want to see in the world.
These workshops are designed for a smaller group (18/20 people max) and will involve a lot of direct and personal interaction. So, camera and microphone will be needed all the time. The work platform will be Zoom. Don’t expect long webinars and talking heads, these activities are super hands-on. Our work will include bits of theory inputs, loads of group and individual exercises, challenges and games, sharing and reflection, and a variety of interactive digital tools to make our sessions more dynamic and engaging.
These editions are offered to trainers and youth workers for a very friendly price because I want to reach as many people as possible, share the passion for what I love, and reflect on its incredible powers (and risks) when used as a communication tool.
After the feedback I received, the November edition will be expanded with one more workshop, to go deeper on how stories shape us and the reality around us. A very important addition for anybody involved in education.
The specific topics will be:
28th October, h 20 CET – How and Why do we create stories? (story structures with famous examples, why do we share stories + the deeper impact of storytelling, theory and tips for creativity, crafting and sharing stories, small group work to create and share short stories, improv exercises);
4th November, h 20 CET- How do stories shape us and the world around us? (to understand more deeply the encoded messages in the stories that surround us, and how they shape society – the Basic Human Values theory by Shalom H. Schwartz and exercises with case studies);
13th November, h 20 CET – How to use stories for personal growth (the Hero’s Journey story mega-structure and how to incorporate Rites of Passage in education and to achieve transformation; the power of sharing and community building with the Way of Council, and tips on how to lead such activities);
18th November, h 20 CET – Engagement, humor and comedy (how to create punchlines and deliver them, theory inputs on what is “funny”, tips and exercises to keep an audience engaged and be confident storytellers, examples from stand-up comedy, writing exercises and jokes, jokes, jokes).
You can register for one or more workshops. I recommend the full series because the stronger group dynamics and the connection between the topics will make for a better experience.
