STORYTELLING WORKSHOP STORY TREE 9.10.2025 17.30–20.30
Business center, Huhtalantie 2, Seinäjoki
What makes your village unique? Every village has a story waiting to be told. Come and write your village's story to life!
The storytelling workshop will include an inspiring lecture on storytelling and examples of how stories can be utilized to increase the attractiveness of villages. In small group work, story elements of villages are identified using the Stooripuu method. Finally, the best elements of the villages are selected for further development and the first version of the story of your own village is prepared. The workshop will give you tips on how to apply the method to your own work or the development of your company's business.
You can prepare for the story workshop by thinking about the story elements of your own village in advance. Think about what is personal and unique about your village. What interesting places and sights are there? Are there any interesting events organized in your village? Is there something special in the village's history that still influences village life today?
