Description of activity:

Introduction

The invitation for the session is to write the story of your life to create connections and empower others. An important part to connect with others is the ability to be vulnerable in sharing who you are, where you come from and what challenges have shaped the life choices that led you to where you are today. Storytelling is a skill. Stories are not developed in a quite corner. When you share your story there is a chance to inspire, encourage people or create space for their own descovery. Reflecting on your own story and mirroring to other people can be a very cathartic experience.

Writing part

You have 15" to craft your own story and can use whichever storytelling technique you want (The hero's journey, The mountain, The nested loops). Go back as far as you can remember. Focus on challenges. •Dancing part (20 minutes) •Sharing and reflection part (15 minutes)
