YOUNG PEOPLE LEARNING AND STORYTELLING - EMMA P...

This book explores the lives of young people through the lens of storytelling. Using extensive
qualitative and empirical data from young people's conversations following storytelling
performances in secondary schools in the UK  the author considers the benefits of stories and
storytelling for learning and the subsequent emotional  behavioural and social connections to
story and other genres of narrative. Storytelling has both global and transnational relevance
in education  as it allows individuals to compare their experiences to others: young people
learn through discussion that their opinions matter  that they are both similar to and
different from their peers. This in turn can facilitate the development of critical thinking
skills as well as encouraging social learning  co-operation and cohesion. Drawing upon folklore
and literary studies as well as sociology  philosophy  youth studies and theatre  this volume
explores how storytelling can shape the lives of young people through storytelling projects.
This reflective and creative volume will appeal to students and scholars of storytelling  youth
studies and folklore.
