Sometimes it is good to tell a story. Stories carry experience, are visual and contextual. Stories spark reflection and conversation. That is why storytelling is great for sharing and learning.

On September 20, 2014 it was Impact Journalism Day. Sparknews with 40 newspapers around the world shared “stories of bright ideas that spark change”. Stories are great to make solutions visible.
Stories make challenges visible too. That is why stories are great for sharing and learning. Stories inspire and connect. Through storytelling we can share and enquire complex issues more easily. Stories help to understand because they are visual. And our brains love stories.
