This course focuses on working with storytelling and storylistening practices in the context of personal development as well as diversity, equity and inclusion. Why? Increasingly, we need new skills to face rapid changes in the globalized world and we only can develop them when we are aware of our own stories, of big narratives that have shaped us, and of how they can inspire and motivate ourselves and others to initiate positive changes in our surroundings, in multicultural teams and in organizations. Participants will work in this course with stories at three different levels: the personal one, the collective one, and the global one. At the end of this course, they will understand how storytelling practices can add value to enhance mutual understanding and leverage diversity as well as foster inclusion.
