Identify the story you want to tell

As part of the IDEO-U course that I’m currently doing (Storytelling for influence) I have had to identify a research question to use in my course assignments. It’s the 4th course I’m doing in this series, and I have come up with the (what I think is rather nifty) practice of incorporating my ideas/dreams around building a clothing brand into the course assignments. In this way I’m working towards learning new skills through the coursework and simultaneously I’m able to build on my thinking for the clothing brand concept.

Introduction assignment:
Identify the story you want to tell

I want to tell a story about the clothing I make so that I can stimulate cross-cultural conversation and acceptance (intercultural dialogue)

What is Intercultural Dialogue via UNESCO e-Platform
Intercultural Dialogue (ICD) offers an opportunity for meaningful engagement for participants who are committed to global values and willing to consider different perspectives. As a transformative form of communication, ICD can contribute to increased acceptance of others, thus satisfying the goal of a peaceful coexistence between various cultures and identities.
