The Power of Fiction: How Stories Shape Us and the World
Storytelling is more than entertainment—it shapes culture, sparks change, and helps us connect with others. In this immersive program, students explore the impact of fiction on society while crafting their own powerful narratives.
Through guided discussions, writing exercises, and collaborative feedback, students will:
- Discover how stories build empathy and influence real-world perspectives.
- Reflect on personal experiences and transform them into compelling fiction.
- Develop storytelling skills, from structuring narratives to refining details.
- Share their work in a supportive space, celebrating the power of their voices.
By the end of the program, students will have a polished story that reflects their unique perspective—demonstrating how fiction has the power to inspire, challenge, and change the world.
