Event Details
This session is part of the Design for Deeper Learning Annual Series hosted by Nancy Bacon Consulting. More information about the two additional sessions:
- Talk to the Elephant - Designing Learning for Behavior Change (Sep 26)
- Leveraging AI for Content Creation and Campaigns in Nonprofit Learning (Nov 14)
For millennia, Native peoples have used stories to unlock learning. Stories introduce cultural humility, expose cultural biases, and show us how preconceived notions influence how we learn and retain information. When we harness the power of stories in our learning and development programs, we can better understand our audience and build inclusive learning, using the Native American culture as an example.
This session will use a storytelling method to introduce how cultural considerations and lived experiences can influence how one learns. Through mini-lessons and stories, we will experience a cultural way of teaching from Indigenous cultures. We will see, for example, how Native American stories often include elements of nature to teach a lesson, showing our connectedness to all things and helping in knowledge retention by relating the lesson to a visual aid.
The Design for Deeper Learning Annual Series invites learning & development experts to share ideas and insights with the people delivering learning programs within nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, and government agencies. Our goal is to elevate effective and inclusive adult learning practices in the nonprofit and public sectors so the people who work on behalf of our communities have the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to thrive, and the people served by nonprofits and the public sector live with joy and liberation.
The Design for Deeper Learning Series is moderated by Nancy Bacon, a teacher, instructional designer, and learning strategist who has worked for over 25 years in the nonprofit sector.
