Workshop on storytelling for educational work on global justice and sustainability (online)
10.03. - 14:00 - 17:00
Many people are becoming increasingly aware of a wide range of global challenges in their immediate environment. At the same time, the complexity of these issues often leads to fatigue, resignation and withdrawal. However, storytelling and listening to stories can offer an alternative approach to complex topics that seem far removed. Stories also offer an opportunity to forge personal connections. They can counteract feelings of loneliness and powerlessness. This means they have great potential in educational settings.
In this workshop we will explore the importance and potential of oral storytelling, a tradition deeply rooted in many cultures. We will discuss the opportunities that storytelling provides for educational work. Furthermore, we will have the chance to practise storytelling in small exercises ourselves.
