Identifying values through storytelling

As we engage in experiences and relationships throughout our lives, our values may evolve or change. One way to understand the “why” behind our values is through storytelling. Use this activity with either a group or on your own to explore, interact, and reflect on the lived experiences that have shaped our values and the values of others.
