For my Inspiration Report I chose to pursue the Power Of Stories path, and developed a plan for instituting a weekly storytelling workshop and open-mic and my local library. Storytelling is so essential to what makes us human––so I was distraught to have to wade through a sea of papers about corporate storytelling and branding to sift out the research on how storytelling at a community level builds valuable connections and develops empathy––but I managed! The finished report was designed in Canva.
I LOVE this !!! The Moth was the first podcast I ever listened to and I think this would be so fun to experience in library! I love that the story writing & sharing happens in the same session and that you built a social break into it.
Hi @zwillats! Such an inspiring report! I love how you’ve highlighted the power of personal stories and showcased programs like The Moth and StoryCorps. It’s heartening to see storytelling taking root in libraries as a way to connect communities and amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. Beautifully presented (great use of Canva) and deeply meaningful imo
Hey Zoe! I loved how your inspiration report is specific to one library and even wove in how the program ties into the library’s strategic plan and mission. Great use of Canva to create a stunning presentation. I could imagine this being presented at a meeting.
