Developing life stories

Description:
Writing and telling of local man's own mythology. The effect is that he is enabled to discern his own reason for being.
Context:
An integral part of formulating images for articulation of meaningful human relationships, to enable the individual to come out of isolation and respond to life's situations in a detached, yet comprehensively engaged, manner.
Implementation:
Tactics include: story pedagogy to enable the development of story-telling techniques to all people of all ages, the story being grounded in the life experiences of the people and aided by the use of art-forms; language methodologies to provide cross-cultural vocabularies which include art-form use, whereby youth and adult recruitment groups are enabled to tell their own life story; skills research to include original ways for enabling style translations to simulate learning, with comprehensive curriculum including creative writing enlightened by art-form experimentation; myth creation to deal with the action of either reformulating self-understanding, through such means as school forensics, work or community fable contests, or popular bards with criteria being cultural stories, rhymes, or songs which speak of current local or global happenings; and reflection symbolization dealing with the types of stories or the areas in which stories for modern man should be told, as well as intentional decor portraying the story.
