Young Voices; Narrative to Grow With

Young Voices

Young voices have stories

Young voices engaging issues with story



We need to bring more young people to the power of storytelling and the ways in which it will transform their world to a narrative they can share, learn from and grow with!

see what wikipedia says about Narrative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative

In Connecticut it is happening with  Campus Slammer a program of the Connecticut Storytelling Center  www.connstorycenter.org  Campus Slammer is an intercollegiate competition in story slams, five minute personal narrative stories shared for scores and prizes!
                                                                         

Mass Mouth Inc. has narrative story happening in the greater Boston area.  www.massmouth.org  Story Slams for adults and youth are scheduled regularly. Programs within the high schools are reaching young people where they are and giving them the tools to share their story. Check out the fresh faces of story in this StoriesLive® clip!


Youth Voice is defined and discussed in Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_voice

"Change The Story" A TedX Talk

"Change the Story"   A TedX Talk / Calgary
Is our non-profit, community group, church or civic  group stuck in a changing world? Do we need to look at things in a new fresh perspective, a new story?  I found some great advice and motivation in this Ted Talk filled with " the intersection of leadership and STORY!"

Thanks for the kind words - and, of course, please feel free to post to your blog - glad to hear it's meaningful to folks out there.

Regards,
