Think of a time you wished you could better understand the people you serve. What was missing? Connection. Storytelling has always been a powerful act of human connection, a path to authentic meaning-making. In this session, we’ll explore how personal stories can build a bridge of connection, fostering understanding, empathy, and compassion. Storytelling isn’t just a tool for communication—it cultivates critical thinking, sparks creativity, nurtures vulnerability, and shapes self-awareness and positive identity.
As educators, we must be audacious enough to find ourselves within the stories of our students, discovering shared intersectionalities and common ground. Our stories, and the stories of our students, are vital in shaping classroom dynamics and creating opportunities for academic success. Join us for an interactive workshop where we’ll explore how to use storytelling to deepen connection, inspire change, and create a classroom environment rooted in empathy and cultural awareness.
