Why storytelling?
Sustainable Social Change is a full body, graceled storytelling experience. We all might define graceled storytelling differently but the goal is to help us all find some common ground. By continually sharing advocacy stories and acting upon the stories we hear from our colleagues and community members we are engaging in something we like to call Graceled Storytelling.
- By shaping beliefs and ideas, storytelling affects culture
- Our stories create mutual understanding outside and within culture
- Stories can reflect culture critically, generatively and metaphorically
- Storytelling can represent the collective wisdom and formation of a culture or people group
- Stories are often used to give meaning to the life of a people group
