Engaged Storytelling

What is Engaged Storytelling?

Our Engaged Storytelling workshop discusses how best to present a story in a digital format by investigating three universal principles of storytelling: audience connection, showing vs. telling, and story structure. The session covers all three principles in-depth, and how they relate to each other, with plenty of examples and information to back them up.

The workshop can be customized to include short, interactive breakout periods, where students will begin thinking about the stories they want to tell, and which medium might be most appropriate for their story.
