CONNECTING COMMUNITY AND CULTURE THROUGH INNOVATIVE STORYTELLING

Storytelling has existed since the oldest times. It was and still is a way of connecting people, creating communities and evoking emotions. Storytelling represents the intangible heritage, while locations related to a particular legend, myth or story represent the tangible heritage.

Storytelling is a fundamental part of being human. Stories let us share information in a way that creates an emotional connection. They help us understand that information and each other, making the information memorable.

Storytelling can encourage the development of society by making them aware of heritage, valuing traditions and customs, encouraging some further thinking, and inspiring them with new development ideas for a particular area. Today's social challenges are marked by daily, frequent changes imposed on us by the environment. The possibilities of storytelling lead to the release of negativity and encourage the development of society through a different prism.
