Making the connection

In watching the video and completing the previous activity, we explored the power of story as a means of facilitating deeper connections with others.

Take a moment to reflect on your experience of story as a means of connection and understanding in a world where we are so easily disconnected.

Reflect on a time when you shared a personal story with someone, or when someone shared their story with you. What did you feel during this experience? How did that act of sharing a story influence your relationship or understanding of one another?

In your experience, what is it about stories that helps us to connect with others? In other words, what elements of storytelling make us feel connected or understood? How does story help us to bridge gaps between people?
