From 2015 to the spring of 2020 we ran our Story Circle Narrative Training program with about 30 organizations for a total of about 50 in-person Demo Days. You can read about the basic training HERE.
The concept for “narrative training” was first laid out in, “Houston, We Have A Narrative” in 2015. As we ran the Demo Day events we learned a great deal about how to develop “narrative intuition” in people through this training. A lot of those insights and inspirations were recorded in these blogposts along the way, starting with our earliest gimmick, The Narrative Dice in Blogpost #3.
