Learning Objectives
- Explore a brief history of storytelling and why our human stories matter in an age of robots.
- Understand that comedy is a great way of getting across stories to an audience.
- Engage people with the messages a student wants to tell, about themselves, their experiences, their qualifications.
- Help students build toward their own short comedy set, via good story research and structure, which they can use for their own cover letters and personal statements.
Session Description
This session, run by a professional comedian and writer, aims to boost students' perceptions of themselves, the stories of their lives so far and where they may go, and how to bring this across - emotionally - to engage an audience. The techniques are designed to be transferable to writing cover letters and personal statements: our human qualities, and letting employers and unis know our stories will be crucial to selling ourselves in the 21st century's age of automation and AI.
