Morag Gamble is in conversation with award-winning Australian storyteller and educator, Jenni Cargill-Strong.

They discussed:

-What is oral storytelling exactly and how is it different from written storytelling?
-Are we all storytellers?
-How does storytelling for performance differ to applied storytelling?
-What does the latest research tells us about the effectiveness of storytelling to enhance attention, learning and recall and how does that work?
-Can stories be used to shift peoples thinking and if so, how?
-Can stories help us be more resilient?
-What is therapeutic storytelling?
-How can I overcome the nerves that make me shy?
-and much more...

Stories told soulfully can reconnect us to wonder, reverence, humility and wisdom.

Stories offer a larger perspective on our lives, values and work.

Stories can help us find the courage to keep working for that more beautiful world, even when we feel defeated and discouraged.

Stories can help us endure hardship and loss.

Stories can help us rediscover the wisdom of forgotten ancestors, rekindle hope, joy, solidarity, and connectedness.

Storytelling can be used to teach principles in memorable, moving ways and build or rebuild the community.
