STORYTELLING

CHALLENGE

I’m working as an academician in a village. So I’m dealing with a

number of students in rural and tribal area. Their social, cultural, and

political identities were extremely varied and complex. Tribal life is

characterized by comparative physical and cultural isolation,

simplicity, small group size, low population density and closeness to

nature; they are varying both physically and conceptually.  Part of the

difficulty with the term is that it seeks to construct and apply a

common conceptual framework across diverse cultures and peoples. It

is very difficult to convey ideas and motivate them. I spend lots of time

to ‘opening people up ‘and finding so many ways to inspire them to

improve their circumstances. It’s a challenging task for me to convey

the lessons and contents to these students and to motivate them too.

SELECTION

I started story telling as a tool to convey my ideas easily with them .I

share motivating stories and those stories help them to catch the

concepts with in the lessons. Story telling helps them to visualize the

content and create a sense of happiness and interest within the

students and day by day they are looking smart and interested in their

studies. Storytelling is exactly weaving together a story rather than

just making a series of points. It is a close relative of visualization—

another way to make new ideas feel real and compelling. Visual

storytelling is actually the most compelling type of story. After this

application they are so happy to share their stories of their lives with

me and they can easily relate any topic that I share with them by using

this visual story telling.

APPLICATION

I have a story about this. I had a student who is from a tribal family. He

and his family are very orthodox and traditional in culture. He always

seems like not interested in anything and lack of confidence to face

others. But I know he is a brilliant boy and can do wonders. I always

share so many success full and inspirational stories within the class.

Every day I’m started my class with a story which is motivational and

inspiring one to all my dear students.  After so many stories day by day

that boy was gaining his confidence, and he can freely share his

experience and feelings in front of his class.

I always used storytelling to introduce a new concept in my subject.it

helps the students to catch the concept easily. We refine a complex

idea into an essence that is simple and yet loaded with meaning

INSIGHT& APPROACH

Our goal as a storyteller is to bring our audience to this profound

understanding in the most interesting way possible. In a designed

story, they often reach this moment at the climax. Story creates a

process where we inject this same discipline into the narrative

process. I always identifying and delivering the meaning of the

concepts in the form of stories in the mind of my students in the most

memorable and inspirable one. It’s   a great insight for me that I

remarked the changes of  that particular student  i mentioned above

and  the other students  as same  as his background . As i mentioned

earlier that all my students are from a special background they are

very special in their attitudes aptitudes and behavior.

The wow factor is that, through the story telling I can change,

motivate and inspire them well. This course helps me to   prepare

stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas best to illuminate

them.
