Storytelling describes the social and cultural activity of sharing stories. It is the conveying of  events in words, and images, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives  have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural  preservation, and to instill moral values. Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include  plot, characters, and narrative point of view.  I am a student and the tool of storytelling is an integral part of my studies. Firstly,  storytelling is essential in a group work for the creation of a certain project to be presented.  It is always important to associate a story with a project so that it also attracts the attention  of the listener. Secondly it is also important to present oneself in the working world and to  create networking. Finally, it is important when it comes to job interviews, as you have to  tell your story in the best possible way and also attract the interest of the listener.     The most recent challenge I had that required the use of storytelling tools was to organise  an event for my university. The aim was to present to an audience of prospective students  and professors all the projects we have done in our Master's programme, trying to create a  story that brought together all the areas we have worked in.     We therefore wanted to create a journey. The title was "Journey from chaos to  interconnectivity: leadership strategies for changing the planet". We guided our audience  through the virtual journey of our presentation. We were divided into three groups, which  explored the main pillars of sustainability: social, economic and environmental. These three  dimensions require climate action, responsible leadership and digital solutions. The stories  started at a micro level exploring social issues, then moved to an intermediate level  elaborating on economic issues. Finally, each of our stories was taken to the macro level by  inspecting the environmental dimensions.    Environmental dimension: this is the micro level pillar and it includes all life forms on our  planet. Economic dimension: this pillar is the medium level and represent threats that affect  human made systems, like global food systems and supply chains. Social dimension: this  pillar is the micro level (in our presentation) and represents the problem in our everyday  life.     This tool was very useful because it gave us the opportunity to tell our experience and  projects through the story of a journey in which everyone could participate.
