Season 2 | Ep 28 | Papa God's Well | A Folktale from Haiti

Papa God's Well is an Haitian Folktale that I discovered in Dr Margaret Read MacDonald's Book Earth Care I remember telling this story in a workshop with a non-profit that was working with a rural community. We were exploring stories (real and traditional) that talk about community problem solving. Right now, I am working with a multinational in India that looks at water projects as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. The stories from their field is a wonderful companion to this traditional folktale for a lesson on water conservation for school students. Papa God's Well is a story about authority, leadership and power. It is a story of what happens when you yield your power with an iron fist. Listen to Papa God's Well and retell it in the Classroom, Living Room and Boardroom with the strategies mentioned in the podcast.

Om Podcasten

Golpo is the Bengali word for stories. It is a curious little word, both a verb and a noun at the same time. As a child Rituparna would insist on two stories and two songs every night. She would pretend to go off to sleep testing her parents to see if they'd finish the story they started to tell. When her grandmother told her stories she would kick her legs in the air fighting sleep before it wrapped her in. Golpo, the joy of oral storytelling returned to Rituparna's life as a mother. From a visual storyteller she discovered the magic of the spoken word all over again. Now a Performance Storyteller, Trainer, Consultant & Coach Rituparna is the Founder of ** *Your Story Bag* ( http://www.yourstorybag.com ) *.* Rituparna believes that stories bridge people & telling stories creates a shared experience. So whether you listen to these stories in the classroom, boardroom or living room, each of these stories will trigger conversations amongst people. Go ahead & try it out...
