Storytelling for Youth Work: Multimedia Guide
This Guide gives youth workers theoretical information, practical skills and specific strategies for implementing storytelling in their work with young people.
Aims of the tool
Storytelling for Youth Work aims to strengthen the connection of youth workers with young people via the positive effects of storytelling, by adapting the storytelling methods for the field and practice of youth work.
Description of the tool
The guide is divided in five chapters. The first three offer a more theoretical input with some examples and practical descriptions, whereas the latter two offer youth workers material and methods they can use in practice with young people.
Chapter 1 explores the concept of storytelling and the properties and elements of good storytelling, as well as its meaning in the context of youth work.
Chapter 2 describes in greater detail how storytelling can be used in youth work, including examples of online and offline storytelling activities; and steps in the process of creating a storytelling activity in youth work.
Chapter 3 concentrates on brainstorming as a key process within storytelling, providing a list of online tools for brainstorming activities, as well as tips and examples.
Chapter 4 is all about role-playing as a form of storytelling. It provides a comprehensive list of role-playing games with full explanation and a gameplay on different topics that can be used in various youth activities.
Chapter 5 is a collection of practical “cheat-sheets” and printable materials to support youth workers in the process of incorporating storytelling in their work with quick games and exercises, checklists and tips on bringing storytelling into action with young people.
