Stories shape how we think, learn, and connect. This interactive workshop introduces educators to three core mechanisms of narrative design—infrastructure, map, and engine—and shows how these principles can make teaching more engaging and memorable. Drawing on Angus Fletcher’s Wonderworks and insights from leading scholars, participants will practice story-based strategies to structure content, motivate learners, and foster reflection. Attendees will leave with practical tools to turn lessons into meaningful learning journeys across any discipline.
