Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is today the main tools one haves to promote your brand , product or idea . For the last   10 years , I ’ve been involved in educational projects , specially focused on millennials . In order to   understand how to better communicate the information we wanted our audience to learn we asked   ourselves two questions : what millennials are interested in , and how they consume information . The   conclusions showed us that they are more willing to consume information when is given by someone   in the format of a story , for example , we saw a huge increase in Vlogers that talked about academic   issues like geography , politics and history , and they were very successful in their channels . 

 Application 

 We decided to tell our story as our main educational tool . Instead of talking about general history ,   we started the conversation y telling our personal history . Before even talking about complex   realities , we talked about our personal challenges and dilemmas . Our classes became sessions and   the structure of teacher and students disappear . We were equals talking about real issues , learning   about how history could help us overcome our challenges by learning from it . Another very   important aspect is that we encouraged the participants to have a conversation with us , as   millennials are so used to do in social media , we gave them an opportunity to tell their stories . 

 Insight & Approach 

 Education is a challenging process , and with every generation we should study a better way to do it .   Sadly , formal education is less open to changes . Our results show that , when applying storytelling   techniques to education , engagement grows and students are more open to learn . 

 By telling our story we became humans to the participants , and they were interested in hearing   what we had to say . More interestingly , we were able to discover that they had a lot to say too and   they realized that they knew more than what they thought about the subjects we were talking about 

 Now , I work in an executive manager position . Until this course I was not able to see the use of this   technique to my new job . This course allowed me to better understand how I can use techniques   from different backgrounds to create more holistic plans for the nonprofit I manage . 

 I think design thinking , in combination with classic techniques of project management , will allow us   to create programs that adapt better to the new reality of the world .
