Challenge  Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe. With bad ecology. As a result, there is a problem in the country  how to deal with children with various developmental disabilities.  In Ukraine, more than 11 percent of children have various developmental disorders. Most parents do not  have money to pay for specialists.  I want to open a small center for classes with speech impaired children.  For poor parents, classes will be free; for those who can pay, they will be paid.  During classes with the child, the specialist will also teach parents how to deal with the child at home  independently.    Selection  Storytelling creates emotional connection between participants.   It gives possibility describe problem emotionally, to enthrall participants.    Good story is a cause is something that ignites people, and unites people.   The first and foremost thing you have to do, is you have to know your audience. A good story, is designed  for the audience.   The second part of a good story is a clear sequence of events. You listen to a great story teller, there's a very  clear sequence of events that moves the story from the beginning to an end.  The third part is having moments of reflection. The great storyteller asks and answers questions along the  way.  If you have a compelling story, something that is of interest, something that is powerful people are going to  listen no matter what the medium is.   Storytelling allows to create energy and passion and excitement around something.  It allows to make strategy accessible.   It gives your stakeholders possibility to feel the situation, to obtain emotionally feedback, to get allies.    Application  I used storytelling to convince powerful people to help me. I needed help to collect information, search for  specialists. Storytelling is a powerful tool with which I colorfully described how children will be engaged,  how they will recover, how happy their parents will be, how this will help the development of the country in  the future.  In most cases, I received a positive reaction. Some people were willing to help.    Insight  I realized that to convince people you need an emotional component. That storytelling makes it possible to  emotionally tell the essence of the project. When people are excited, when they understand how important  what you are telling, they become your partners.  But it’s also very important what you are talking about. It should be an understandable project that makes  sense, which helps others.    Approach  Since I found that the most valuable aspect is the emotional connection during the implementation of the  project. I would add a visualization. Photos of children with parents, graphs, charts, confirming my  information. This would enhance communication with my listeners.
