Challenge

I am a member in a volunteer work in my college, we teach classes to needy students that want to  go to college in a city in Brazil. Every year we face the same problem, studentes drop out and stop  going to class. We had tried several approaches to solve the problem but they were all useless, now  we are trying some design thinking tools to understand better the problem and fix it. We already  sent questionnaires with general questions and the main problem reported was for financial reasons.

Selection

Our team decided to apply two design thinking tools, the journey mapping and the storytelling tool,  like in the video from the third week named by “The MeYouHealth Story Part I: What Is?”, she  remember us about the Good Kitchen and how important is to explore interviewees’ perspectives  deeper, cause like we learn on the third week: “even one interview, if it's a really good one, can  accomplish that inspiration”.

Application

I have used storytelling to encourage students to be motivated in the course despite all the problems  they had at home and external problems to maintain. I told them some stories of people who  reached the limit of giving up and today are owners of large companies and influencers, in a  persuasive and captivating way the story reached a point that it was understandable to give up, but  then with courage he continued just one more time and it was enough for success.  One example I can use is about Walt Disney, he was fired from the newspaper because he didn’t  have enough creativity and good ideias, after that he bought an animation studio that went bankrupt, so he had everything to give up the dream, but he kept trying and today we see who he became.   Insight

By applying the storytelling tool, our team identified that is so much better to 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. When you assume that a student is not going to class  because he is lazy or something, you are unmotivating him, s this new approach were great and  bring us a lot of new ideias to always let them motivated in class.

Approach

Using the same tool, but now with a continuous approach, every week, we take a day and in 10  minutes we set aside to listen to the students' anxieties and then someone experienced in storytelling tells a motivating story that is somehow relative with the problem.
