โœจ Our Solutions: The 5 Pillars


Seven True Storytelling Principles: 

  1. You yourself must be true and prepare the energy and effort for a sustainable future
  2. True storytelling makes spaces that respect the stories already there
  3. You must create stories with a clear plot, creating direction and helping people prioritize
  4. You must have timing
  5. You must be able to help stories on their way and be open to experiment
  6. You must consider staging, including scenography and artefacts
  7. You must reflect on the stories and how they create value
