Players suggested a host of ways to amplify storytelling efforts, such as extending the StoryCorps model to marginalized communities around world. Others thought that adding foresight methodologies could add a layer of community organizing and strategic thinking to the power of storytelling as well. Some players suggested pragmatic approaches—providing tools to record and share stories, designing storytelling projects that span multiple media platforms for increased reach and access, and building platforms to map ideas and make storytelling fruitful. Others also suggested using storytelling techniques as a cautionary tale to prevent crime | Amplified Storytelling | From the Players © 2013 Institute for the Future for Rockefeller Foundation.
