Can a story make to make my class flow better? / Pablo Andrés Torres



The art of storytelling. This is how each and every one of us has the ability to tell stories based on events. However, how to do it in an engaging way, transforming people's lives, is what makes it an art. The goal goes beyond sharing a narrative. The most important intention is to connect emotionally with the other, in this case with the students, through a story. This is what makes Storytelling a meaningful educational strategy to link content with students. This is how our guest shares with us the most important elements to develop the story with the message we want to convey, considering the environment, the characters and the key elements that generate the change of pace and emotion that maintain the connection with our audience.
