SUMMARY EVALUATIONS OF SGN WORKSHOP ON STORYTELLING, on Feb 18
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP WAS
The Mix. The email update, reminder over time. Information e.g. who had RSVPs and the outline of the book you used helped me get ready better for the meeting. I THINK THE BEST IS THROUGH THE SAFE PLACE YOU MAKE AND THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE YOU DRAW
FOCUSING ON LISTENING.
Very interesting. Learning from everyone present. This incited a deeper thought process into my own stories. Nice learning environment.
Excellent presentation and helpful format. Stirred an increasing interest in stories and storytelling - and will certainly help me in my journey.
Meaning of stories. Required reflection. Like the use of stages for story research. Listening to others’s stories.
Structured casualness of the format. Small groups and background mix of the group. Others’ stories that help me remember my own stories. The textbook used. The perfect environment for a workshop. Techniques used to help use probe memory deeper.
Reflection, digging deeper. Small groups allows insight. Communication. Enjoy hearing other stories, learning from others experiences. Need and appreciate feedback. Excellent learning experience.
SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT
A. Provide different weather! Actually I love the snow today, but I am sorry it made driving difficult for some.
How to recognize a story, how to draw a story out of past experience. I am sure I have lots of stories but how to remember them, recognize and related them to others.
Maybe more technique tips?
Have continuing sessions? Nor criticisms of workshop as is.
Maybe choose two or three participants and encourage telling to a group (however this is threatening to me) Thanks for a great day!
Get text to participants ahead of time. Work on timing per exercise. How much time individually needed to write down our thoughts . How much is needed by the group to share and discuss individual results. Some need more or less of the other, and it varies.
I sense there was more to cover. Perhaps start earlier or extend by an hour.
Hope you offer more workshops.
