Storytelling

Storytelling describes the social and cultural activity of sharing ​stories​, sometimes with  improvisation​, ​theatrics​ or embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or ​narratives​, which are

shared as a means of ​entertainment​, education, cultural preservation or instilling ​moral​ values.

Stories teach us about life, about ourselves and about others. Storytelling is a unique way for  students to develop an understanding, respect and appreciation for other cultures, and can promote

a positive attitude to people from different lands, races and religions.  Telling stories is one of the most powerful means that leaders have to influence, teach, and inspire.

What makes storytelling so effective for learning? For starters, storytelling forges connections

among people, and between people and ideas. Stories convey the culture, history, and values that  unite people.

Stories teach us about life, about ourselves and about others. Storytelling is a unique way for  students to develop an understanding, respect and appreciation for other cultures, and can promote

a positive attitude to people from different lands, races and religions. There are a number of ways in

which storytelling can enhance intercultural understanding and communication. Stories can…

● allow children to explore their own cultural roots

● allow children to experience diverse cultures

● enable children to empathise with unfamiliar people/places/situations

● offer insights into different traditions and values

● help children understand how wisdom is common to all peoples/all cultures

● offer insights into universal life experiences

● help children consider new ideas

● reveal differences and commonalties of cultures around the world

With the arrival of the 21st century, digital storytelling has developed as a bridge between traditional

forms of storytelling and modern forms of communication supported through new technologies.

The difference between virtual reality and other storytelling mediums is interactivity. In all forms of  virtual reality, the user’s experience is interactive. That can be as simple as moving their head to

decide where they want to look. This makes it hard to include a narrative. If the user can do what

they want, they may not follow a story in the same way.

The Four P’s in storytelling is People, Place, Plot and Purpose.

Storytelling works because it acknowledges a problem exists. It provides perspective on the problem  and shows unique and different ways to solve it. Stories take us on a journey where problem-solving

is an embedded process. Effective storytelling involves a deep understanding of human emotions,

motivations, and psychology in order to truly move an audience. Storytelling is something we all do  naturally, starting at a very young age. But there's a difference between good storytelling and great

storytelling.   Benefits of storytelling to children:

They were the good old days when we would lie beside our aajis and azoba, daadis or naanis, as they

took us on fantasy journeys with their tales — the wit of Birbal, the righteousness of the Pandavas,  the stories of Vikram and Betaal et al. Those were the stories that helped us learn some important

lessons of our lives. They taught us about the good and bad and also had a hand in making us the

people we are as grown-ups. Introduces new vocabulary to children. Enhances listening skill of  children. It encourages the development of feeling and emotion.  Benefits in business:

When you come up with an idea for your business there will be a story behind it - whether it's to do  with developing a new product or growing your business. Tell this story and provide the context so

your customers and stakeholders understand why your service or product is worth

buying/investing in. Your idea has been created to solve a problem so tell the story of how you were  affected by this problem and how this led to your product/service. Ensure that you're making the

story relatable to the audience by using real-life situations as this makes it easier to see why your

goods will add value to their lives. Using storytelling in this way helps the audience to connect with  you so they trust you, the human, and therefore they trust the brand. This is especially the case

when the story is very relatable, which also has the added benefit of being easier to understand and  more memorable as it's personally relevant

Story-telling is probably as old as humankind itself. We know that strong leaders tell stories to

convey information and motivate listeners. Storytelling is applicable in many fields – for example,  scientists also tell stories to help listeners retain more information and understand complex  concepts and relationships.

​Modern digital tools let anyone with a digital camera or a computer tell a story of change.

Storytelling virtual is not good for people because somewhere it affects the eyes of people and even  there should not be virtual studies for a student somewhere it is effecting in there life. People say

virtual studies is our future but I think they are not looking the harm on the student. They are not

even learning properly from online studies or recorded one. Face to face storytelling is good and  students even understand better.
