The training was based on constructivism paradigm where the facilitators conducted training on learning by doing approach. The team broadly classified whole training program in three categories and focused on three essential factors of storytelling. They introduced tools, tips and techniques in each respective phase in order to produce interesting, interactive and information rich stories. Two days theoretical orientation on story telling and harvesting approach and photography and videography process were given to the participants so as to prepare the team to collect and capture stories on the given theme from the field. Ten different groups were formed and directed to field to collect and capture stories mainly focusing on the themes designed by the project.
