Course Content
Introduction
Until the coming of radio, TV and internet, passing on stories was the most important means of communication for mankind. Stories stimulate the imagination and thinking of the recipient. Breathe new life into the old practice of storytelling with pupils by collecting stories from different cultures, reading, listening, comparing and, of course, telling them.
Relevance
Why?
Worldview (belief system) is the spring of a person’s motivation and behaviour. That’s why it’s beneficial to become aware of one’s worldview.
How?
Worldviews are mostly communicated and continued through stories, thus learning about one’s own and various worldviews is most effective through reading, writing, listening and telling of stories.
What?
Think of your worldview as a collection of stories. Do you know and can you tell these stories to others?
