The workshops are open to people considering but not yet committed to OneStory projects. Completion of this workshop is NOT sufficient training for being involved in official OneStory Projects, but would be beneficial to people working with primarily oral communicators. Space is limited, so participants are considered individually according to background and interest. The cost of the workshop is $100 registration with room and board variable according to location. The goals of the workshops will vary somewhat from location to location but some of the basis goals are:

1. understand how oral communicators think and process information and what methods are best utilized in presenting biblical truth to them.

2. be able to articulate a biblical basis for oral methods of witness and discipleship.

3. understand and have experienced key elements of Chronological Bible Storying.

4. be exposed to the storying process. They will learn at least one story and present it, plus learn the elements a storying session, including the questions and processing time afterwards.

5. learn the process of crafting stories in their own language, including worldview & cultural assessment, identification of key terms, resourcing multiple translations and other reference material.

6. learn about the use of drama and music and other media in presenting stories when appropriate

7. witness bilingual, cross cultural storying crafting sessions for the students.

8. understand how to do evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and leader training with oral communicators.

9. explore application of orality principles for teaching in a variety of settings and audiences.

10. hear about OneStory opportunities.
