Presentation: Stories Matter: How does Storytelling Create Changemakers?

Language of presentation: English (without simultaneous interpretation)

School: YCIS Shanghai Pudong

Abstract: Stories empower. Stories challenge. Stories teach. We learn through stories. Stories stretch and grow us. Stories can also define us—but we can also change our story, and in so doing, we can change ourselves, and our future. Stories create community. Stories are the most powerful way to get our ideas into the world. Stories change the world. 

Imagining the stories of the future is an important aspect of future readiness, as it allows students to envision the world they want to create, allowing them to explore different perspectives and possibilities, informed by our values and unique cultural contexts. 

By empowering students to find, shape, and share their own stories, we can help them become changemakers, changing our as we build a better future for humanity.
