The psychology of storytelling

Reasons why it's easier to remember a story

The limbic system is the home of our emotions and the part that connects it with our memory and makes memories. Evolutionarily speaking, our brains focussed on and specialized in telling, understanding and remembering stories.

Why is (digital) storytelling so effective?

Because it activates our limbic system

Stories make it easy to relate to and form a connection to things that someone has experienced themselves.

Because it creates identification

Our brains can process pictures faster than texts, they are easier to understand and to be kept in mind. They provoke emotions and can be remembered easily.

Because it relies on visual stimuli

Ingredients of storytelling

A fact or a message aren't a story

What a story needs

  1. A protagonist,
  2. a goal that he or she aims for
  3. and a conflict that's standing in his or her way

Every story has a moral that the narrator wants to convey.

Christian Riedel

How to communicate

Different approaches: The Golden Circle or the metaphor

In my opinion, understanding who your target audience is, and what they want, and writing to them (and only them!) is the most important component of being successful as an author.

John Locke

Oodi is what you want it to be

Oodi is a library in Finland's capital Helsinki. But at the same time, Oodi is more than library, more than a place to store books. It is the favorite place for a lot of people. Why? Because the designers didn't ask what a library actually IS, they designed a place a library CAN be for its users. They started with WHY!

What are you doing?

The golden Circle
(according to Simon Sinek)

What?

How are you doing what you are doing? What are your value propositions or your unique selling points?

How?

Why are you doing what you are doing? What do you believe in? What is your fundamental purpose?

Why?

Each person finds possible metaphors.

7 steps to find a metaphor for your project

Finding

People build small groups to collect all the metaphors the people have thought about.

Collecting

The three strongest metaphors are chosen.

Choosing

Step-by-step, the main stages of the project will be translated in those three metaphors.

Translating

The metaphors will be presented to the colleagues. Which one do they like best?

7 steps to find a metaphor for your project

Learning

The whole project will be translated into the strongest metaphor.

Optimizing

High quality pictures and videos are used in order to present the project.
