Storytelling Thinking

Designing the future with transformative imagination

Designing the future with transformative imagination.

Storytelling Thinking® is an innovative design tool that uses story design techniques, especially cinematographic ones, to reformulate one’s way of thinking and, through a transformative action, shape one’s future.

Tell possible scenarios and establish effective and efficient strategies.

The workshop aims to make this innovative method known, accompanying the participants in the planning of a strategy to achieve a personal or professional goal.

With targeted exercises, for each of the Steps of the model, specific scenarios and strategies are put in place, allowing you to explore your goal and make a scenario hypothesis to achieve it.

RECOGNIZING STEREOTYPES AND DISCRIMINATIONS FOR A MORE JUST WORLD

How to change perspective thanks to inspiring stories from the world of TV series, media and brands?

How to change perspective thanks to inspiring stories from the world of TV series, media and brands?

In recent years, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion has become an increasingly relevant topic, both for people and for brands and organizations, which are called to spread an authentic and non-stereotyped representation of reality. Reality manifests itself through language and images that become powerful vehicles for changing one’s way of thinking and seeing other people. Through examples and virtuous case studies from the world of branding, advertising and design, showing examples from films and TV series, we will discover how to broaden one’s point of view.

The masterclass focuses on the main drivers of discrimination, also focusing on intersectional issues, with the aim of encouraging inclusive representation, where every person can feel represented.

THE PVCODE METHOD – PARTICIPATORY VIDEO FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

An opportunity to learn the PVCODE method and its potential and feasibility through the analysis of many participatory videos.
The masterclass is aimed at educators, trainers, teachers, psychologists, visual anthropologists, film authors and students.
This formula has already been successfully presented at the University of Brescia, at the Sereno Regis Study Center Torino, in collaboration with the National Cinema Museum Association, in Bologna at the Bottega Finzioni, at the Gaudio Incorpora Library of Locri (RC), at Bookcity Milano and in many High Schools.

PARTICIPATORY WORDS - STORIES IN CIRCLE

Online storytelling meetings to share words and thoughts on topics that concern us.

Each meeting includes an introduction with images and texts in order to focus on the topic. Then the participants made an individual reworking through autobiographical and creative writing of small texts. The sharing of the works follows, first in small groups and then in the large circle. This is an experience to discover new aspects about yourself and others, creating closeness and connections. You don’t need to be good at writing, it doesn’t matter if you never did it. You just need to want to get involved and experiment!
