Narrative 4 Story Exchange & Training for Staff, Narrative 4 Story Exchange for Students
To support Ithaca College’s work, Narrative 4 trained a dozen staff and faculty members, supporting them by co-facilitating Story Exchanges for 300 members of the incoming first-year class.
This first year experience programming was intentionally designed to utilizing the Story Exchange as an essential part of first-year orientation, kicking off students’ college experience with connection and intentionality.
Impact:
Moved by the first year experience programming, Ithaca College students organized another exchange, bringing Narrative 4 back to campus to support student facilitators. The facilitators led a story exchange between different student religious groups on campus, supporting more storytelling, discussion, and civic discourse.
