Stories Introduction We believe firmly in the value of metaphor in teaching and training. It often enables people to see familiar events and behaviour patterns differently, and it frequently releases energy in group discussion. Stories, particularly oral stories, are a valuable source of metaphor, and the ones we offer here are from our own ‘fund’. They are presented in different ways and they may of course be interpreted in different ways, but we have found that all of them have potential in training contexts when we work with groups. It is worth noting here that there are other starting points for working with metaphor: verbal (when a trainer asks a group to say what their metaphor for a classroom is, for example), visual (as for example when participants are asked to sketch their metaphors, or to consider images provided by others) or visualisation (where a trainer may ask participants to close their eyes and paint a mental picture of a particular imaginary scenario). |
