Event Synopsis
Storytelling is universal and is as ancient as humankind. From time immemorial, humans have told stories to entertain, educate and influence. Stories are a part of every culture across the world. They are a part of our private, social and professional lives.
Stories are central to human cognition and communication. Good storytellers are able to spark instantaneous engagement with their audience as stories go beyond mere facts and figures alone. By exposing their audience to a whole gamut of emotions and experiences, good storytellers encourage their audience to make connections between their cognitive and emotional realms, thereby helping them attain a better understanding of the issue at hand.
