Storytelling is a practice that allows us to better understand ourselves and appreciate the experiences and perspectives of others. It is described by scholars and practitioners alike as a communication tool that has been with us since the beginning of time. Most importantly, for the moment in history in which we find ourselves, storytelling has been shown to help us appreciate others' worldviews, to be comfortable with ambiguity, and it serves as a pedagogical tool that honors diversity.

Session Objectives:

• Storytelling as community engagement

• Storytelling as a cultural competence and tool for change

• Storytelling and workforce - the whys and benefits

• Storytelling as higher-ed and adult pedagogy - it's how adults learn
