STORYTELLING AS A TOOL ... 

 Challenge : 

 A few days ago I was given an opportunity to share my ideas on holistic 

 approach of education in schools as well as in colleges and how it effects the   growth of the student ’s personality and how it helps to deal the problems they   face both academically and real life . Initially I thought of just explaining orally   what is holistic approach , how is it different from the normal education , what   are advantages of it , how can it be implemented , what are changes that have to   be done to the   school curriculum and how holistic education can help the   student in overall personality development etc … But later I thought this way   would be full of facts and technical terms which may not be understood by   everyone , which can result in loss of interest in the topic . 

 So , I got the idea of using one of the thinking tools i.e. Storytelling . 

 Selection : 

 Storytelling is a very powerful way in which one can explain any complex   problem with simple words both visually or orally . By connecting storytelling with   the problem to be solved it would be more appealing to the audiences to   understand the crux of the problem and also it will be easy to explain them how   the solution can change the current situation . Storytelling is also a way in which   the new ideas can feel more real and compelling .Therefore , I used storytelling as   the tool to solve the problem . 

 Application : 

 Before telling the story , there were three questions that I had to answer . They   were 1)what is the point of my story ? , 2)whom am I telling the story ? , 3)and why    am I telling the story?.Keeping these three questions in mind the story follows the   pattern of introduction , problem , reaction , solution and ending . In the story , how   two boys of same age group turn into two very different people based on the   educational background ? One with mark based curriculum where marks are given   utmost priority and the other with holistic education and how it shapes the boy   into more responsible and caring human being . As defined , Holistic education is a   comprehensive approach to teaching where educators seek to address the 

 emotional , social , ethical , and academic needs of students in integrated learning   formats . 

 The story mainly revolves around how the two boys react to the situations around   them and how they tackle any problems they face . I have included many real life   situations like getting low marks in exam , how open are they to new skills , how   easily they can mingle with people of different cultural , racial and economic   backgrounds and how interested are they in learning about new cultures etc ... By   telling it as a story it gives scope to be real as well as creative .As this story has   real life scenarios it would be very easily understood by the audience . It is   believed that if a story is emotionally driven it will be more interesting and the   idea with which the story teller wants to convey can be easily understood . 

 Insight : 

 Storytelling as a tool in design thinking has helped in broadening my thought   process of how a complex idea can be told in an engaging and interesting story .   Storytelling also helps both the storyteller and the listener . It improves   imaginative ability of both of them . With the help of this experience next time it   would be easy to formulate an idea think of that idea in a different way which is   never thought before . 

 Approach : 

 An idea with both problem and solution can be sold in different ways based on   the target audience , revenue if generates , the time etc ... Next time if a problem of   this sought happens I would like to think of a tool based on the solution it   provides and how can be more engaging to the people who are involved with it .     A Story can be told   orally or can be seen as a video too . Next time if I would get   an opportunity I would like to make a small video of the story so that it can be   both engaging and solution also can be told at the same time .
