| Summary: | In The Storytelling Animal: How stories make us human , Jonathan Gottschall (2012) argues that storytelling is innate, as represented by evidence of story throughout time and from our earliest stages of development. He puts forth a compelling argument that humans and culture are vulnerable to shaping by storytelling. Child & Youth Care (CYC) people know stories well and we use story and metaphor frequently in our engagement with young people (Allsopp & Thumbadoo, 2002; Burns, 1999). This article focuses on some of the stories of connection which occurred at the 1st Child & Youth Care World Conference, held in St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador, in June of 2013. But first let us tell you who ‘we’ are, and how we came to be. |
