Storytelling is a human ability and part of our communicative faculty that develops as we cultivate it. We tell stories to share information and to connect with other people; we also do it to organize certain events in our minds and endow them with meaning.
During this laboratory, we will reflect on imagination and, through practical exercises, we will recognize the mechanisms by which we integrate it into our daily lives, as well as its possibilities in research and creation processes.
