Storyteller's Toolkit

If you are interested in this title..you are not alone...this session drew a packed room crowd this afternoon at NTC ...but ( in my opinion) did not deliver the goods.

The first speaker said if you only take one thing away from this session I hope it is "Show don't tell" and then spent most of his time telling us about how to collect stories.

It was interesting that he is a Senior writer at Mercy Corps and his full time job is collecting stories (maybe he writes better than he presents?) He also shared that they routinely train staff to collect stories...it is a three day training including writing, taking photos, field work and one on one coaching.
