Storytelling

I have been working in a foundation that helps improve education rights in vulnerable areas  of the city, Bogota. When we are looking for improve some policies, the Storytelling involve  many of possible ways to understand what is going on and who can we create better  solutions for people. Many of these people and specially their kids deal with difficult ways  to arrive at their schools. For example, the Egypt neighborhood is located in one of the top  of the mountains in Bogotá. So, Egyptian kids get some classes in the church of the  neighborhood where is located in the bottom of the mountain. When I work with them, I  used to share stories about their culture and history. That’s give me the option to hear new  stories about their families and their situation, and also, they give me the opportunity to  understand a real situation with their stories. I usually share some feedback about my live  compare their lives style in the best way to increase their abilities to understand the world  and their situation. When I use this method, I can make new activities and strategies to  increase their education rights.     Application    When I was working in the volunteer area at my university. One of my targets was create  an innovate police to involve the culture and history of the Egypt neighborhood, I was trying  to explain why the Egypt neighborhood was one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in  Bogotá. And how could be the best way to change bad opinions about Egypt. At the begging  of my lesson with the leaders of Egypt, I started to share the first time that I arrived at Egypt.  And I saw that most of the people once again in their life have been listening the same  dangerous and insecurity feeling when we were in Egypt. However, one man told me that  the difference between a stranger and citizen of Egypt was the history. And he began to  explain culture and why some people inside neighborhood was identify for others citizens  and that could change the manner to trust in people. Since that moment, everybody what’s  to change insecurity and dangerous feeling for trusty and friendly neighborhood when  people could find recycle art and interesting stories.        Insight and approach     It’s an open minded. This mean that when you start to use the story at the begging of your  speech or your ideas. I think, you are share a feeling or you are trying to get a emphatic with  your audience and most importer when you are creating a social policies and you are going  to explain why the people need to change for delete a problem.   At the end on my first lesson in Egypt, everybody wanted to change the face of Egypt with  new tolls as recycle art in the neighborhood. Why recycle art tools? The man who start to

share with me different ways of treating a person, he told me that, when he arrived at his  home with more of recycle things that he expected, her wife usually used leftovers to create  pieces of art. For example, hammocks with nihilon or simple figures with recycle things.     When I was creating the police, my team saw a big and personal impact with the people.  And who would they change the speech to increase the tourism in the zone. I saw how start  with a story can change emphatic feelings.     Start to study design think give me the opportunity to understand how do I speak to others  and how can we change a problem of insecurity in terms of art.
