Storytelling with Jan McHugh and PeterFirkin
We have always told stories to entertain ourselves but stories been important in every culture also to pass on information or to explain essential knowledge to others.
When working with people or groups and organisations storytelling can be a useful tool in helping to share and explore what is understood.
This workshop will give those attending the opportunity to share some stories and to explore how improved understanding can come through this process.
