Imagine what might happen if we gathered together and shared our stories? Is that part of what Appreciative Inquiry is all about? How does Appreciative Inquiry use collected stories as a catalyst to reinforce community?
Imagine a community story book! What an incredible bond that could be, and what fun it would be to make happen. Story telling as connective tissue.
How is Appreciative Inquiry different from what's being disucssed, if at all? Isn't it all about identifying core values & seeing how they fit into current/future actions? Identifying core values & guiding principles sounds like what the Bryn Athyn community is focused on right now.
Digital storytelling - entwine the schools & the Appreciate Inquiry process. Using the stories as discussion points for high school students.
Story circles seems a natural build off/deepening of the Appreciative Inquiry process.
Honoring, celebrating the past without become shackled by it - so important!
Every story is the story that should be told. Not just the good stories or the bad stories, but the authentic stories.
My hometown is remarkably connected IF you are within one of many established circles. If not, it can feel exclusive, excluding.
Imagine an evening at MPAC combining an evening of digitalized stories and people -live- sharing stories from the stage.
