Example Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge : 

 I come from a town in India from the state of Kerala , where we have a serious challenge with waste   management . Domestic waste created from households , hotels , hospitals and other industrial   activities has become a menace that the state government and local authorities are not able to   manage . This has polluted our water bodies including lakes , rivers and wells . Though Kerala state   Human Development Index ( HDI ) is comparable with developed countries , waste management has   become a herculean task . 

 Selection of Storey Telling as a tool : 

 Stakeholders in this challenge are numerous including general public , hospital and hotel staff and   authorities , customers and patients , industry management and staff , school and college going   student , elderly people , people living near to rivers banks and lakes etc . 

 We decided to create a story line that started with an interview with the a dozen of elderly people   between 60 - 80 who shares their personal stories explaining how beautiful , clean and pristine was   the river and water bodies were that they even used to drink directly from them . The story then   shows the current reality showing how filthy has the place has become . The story also includes   public behaviour , including the way they irresponsibly dump and discard the waste which is then   scavenged by dogs , crows and other creatures . It also shows how people gets disgusted by the   rotting smell and the mere sight of it . The story then shows the big ques in the local government   hospital where people are waiting with their young children for seeing doctor for the illness of fever   and contagious diseases . 

 The story then shows how people can convert their domestic waste into compost and biogas where   the benefit is twofold . The money saved on cooking gas and the vegetables and fruits that they grow   with the compost generated shows the smiling and happy families . We also added how the Japanese   society has cleaned and created a sewerage which is clean enough for fishes to be grown in that   where people uses these places for recreation and gatherings . 

 The story ends with hospitals without patients , clean and pristine streams and rivers , clean roads   and public places , people enjoying fresh local vegetables and fruits . 

 Application 

 We applied the story telling tool , which had real characters to explain the need of reducing ,   reusing and recycling the waste created by individuals , residential areas , local business and   industries to highlight the importance of waste management . This documentary like story   telling was run on visual medias throughout schools , colleges , public places like bus and   train stations , parks and places of religious gathering including local masjids , temples and   churches . The awareness created was so huge that people realized and recognised the   importance of responsible waste management .     Insights :      We realised that when we add real stories that touch human emotions including fear , hope   and promise , stakeholders tend to react positively and the much needed change happens . 

 We also realised there could be more stakeholders to the challenge including people of   younger age ( between 5 - 10 ) and should also gather their expectations and wants to create a   better society . E.g. : Would they like to play in a clean and pristine stream , would they like to   pluck fresh fruits that are grown on the streets while they go to schools etc . We also   realised that if we could add the financial benefit for the peoples and authorities associated   with waste transport and management , reduction in public health in terms of wasted days   due to sickness etc . We also thought of adding a happiness index if the ‘ What if ’ possibilities   are met .      Approach :      The selected tool is very promising , we may include visualisation that will help us to improve   it further so that stakeholder can have contribute more suggestion and ideas . We may use   virtual reality to show what is possible by working together .   To increase the conviction we may also add the financial benefits , the mental health   benefits of the overcoming the challenge .
