Design for Deeper Learning Annual Series
For trainers in the social sector
The Design for Deeper Learning Annual Series invites learning & development experts to share ideas and insights with the people delivering learning programs within nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, and government agencies. Our goal is to elevate effective and inclusive adult learning practice in the nonprofit and public sectors so the people who work on behalf of our communities have the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to thrive, and the people served by nonprofits and the public sector live with joy and liberation.
The Design for Deeper Learning Series is moderated by Nancy Bacon, a teacher, instructional designer, and learning strategist who has worked for over 25 years in the nonprofit sector.

Using Stories to Expand Learning
October 24, 2024
12:00-1:30pm PST | 3:00-4:30pm EST
For millennia, Native peoples have used stories to unlock learning. Stories introduce cultural humility and expose cultural biases and show us how preconceived notions influence how we learn and retain information. When we harness the power of stories in our learning and development programs, we can better understand our audience and build inclusive learning, using the Native American culture as an example.
This session will use a storytelling method to introduce how cultural considerations and lived experiences can influence how one learns. Through mini lessons and stories, we will experience a cultural way of teaching from Indigenous cultures. We will see, for example, how Native American stories often include elements of nature to teach a lesson, showing our connectedness to all things and helping in knowledge retention by relating the lesson to a visual aid.
