Atmosphere

Source: Wisamar Bildungsgesellschaft
Usually, a certain atmosphere is already present in the place or can be designed to create a pleasant setting for storytelling. Some examples:

Trust, openness and mutual appreciation


However, the atmosphere in the group of learners is at least as important, especially if you want to actively involve and motivate them to share their own thoughts, experiences and stories. The listeners should feel comfortable not only spatially but also socially. Trust, openness and mutual appreciation both among learners and between teachers and learners are the prerequisites for this. Small warm-up or icebreaker ▾ exercises are also useful if the group already knows each other: they loosen up the atmosphere, are fun, make people laugh and convey a good sense of community.
