Story telling
From Deliberative Democracy Institiute Wiki
Story telling is a method to help participants engage an issue.
It seems that participents can learn very easly by hearing stories[1], and it is used naturaly by participents[2]
One example of a discourse analytic approach to deliberation is Black’s (2006)[3] investigation into how deliberative group members tell and respond to personal stories during disagreements. Black qualitatively analyzed the communication of two groups involved in an online deliberative forum to explore and describe interactive patterns related to storytelling, collective identity, and conflict. She discerned four distinct types of stories, each with a different discursive function. She posited that the different types of stories drew on different ideas about the storyteller’s identity and connection to the group, and that group members use of different types of stories would likely lead to different conflict management strategies.
