renaissance in the art of storytelling
Come on, tell me a story, we asked the child and the child to bed. Storytelling belongs to the magical land of childhood, but also one of the activities that trigger more intense creativity, imagination, communication, multiculturalism and solidarity.
The stories also pervade our daily lives. They are everywhere. And get us to see life from another perspective: more magical, more bearable, more beautiful. Some tell stories and encourage reading, others to strengthen cross-contained classroom, asking for a raise to get a loan, or for the future love partner. The truth is that we can not live without stories.
Come on, tell me a story. Well, you see, this is the story of a cat that had feet of cloth and tummy upside down. Do you want me to tell you again? Like a never ending story, so this business of storytelling, a story in itself with a circular life that never runs dry. Lucia, a English teacher in high school in Paris, commented that his students managed to learn English faster than other classes. How do you get? Asked the other teachers. Storytelling. And it is always more attractive than a fairy tale than a real history, common and unremarkable. There are many people who use storytelling tool in its work: lawyers, trade unionists, social mediators, nurses. The list could be endless.
already been said in "The secrets of storytelling, that storytelling is a gigantic tree rooted in ancient roots. A tree whose perimeter is increasing every day with the words nutrition narrators. A robust tree that stands firm to the new technologies surrounding it. And the storytelling is that voice become entangled in the soul, whose mouth comes words that become guide dogs that lead to beautiful land full of fantasy. What could be more powerful than the voice that is kept alive in memory for centuries?
