In real life I was telling stories to someone. There has to be a listener. When I started telling stories to the camera on my computer, I couldn't make it come alive. So I tried to figure out what to do about that. I watched other storytellers telling stories in their living room, I saw them tell outside and I noticed that we are all working our way around the fact, that the listener is not present, is not there.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
THEN I found out that Zoom has a split screen possibility.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
FOR a long time I <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">had the idea of inviting artists into a pub here in Edinburgh, where I live. The two of us should then share songs, stories, poems what ever.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
THEN came the C-19. I was trying to figure out what to do here in my room in Edinburgh and a thought came to me. I could combine the two, the meetings between two artists and the Zoom split screen.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I have now made a series of these online meetings and I call them DuEtS.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
That is the story of how DuEtS came to be. Two artists, four or three expressions.</div>

Up till 1996, he was in the grip of traditional management. Then he discovered organizational storytelling and he pursued that through 2010. His new book is about radical management which means that managers have to start organizing things differently: new goals, new role for managers, new ways of coordinating, new values and finally, as a last step, communicating through stories.<br /><br />My own journey is in some ways parallel. It also began with storytelling. Up till 2000, I was a traditional storyteller. From 2000 to 2010, I got involved in organizational storytelling, on some occasions together with Steve. This last year, I have come to deepen my work in interactive storytelling as the first step towards organizing things differently.<br /><br />In Steve’s blog (I love the word revolution) he says: "the intellectual battle to have storytelling accepted in the world of work has been won. What was once seen as absurd is now viewed as obvious. Yet the grim humorless workplaces are still everywhere. That war has still to be fought. Thus I have come to see that storytelling by itself is not enough. In organizations today, we find a set of attitudes, practices and values that cripple the human spirit and hamstring creativity and innovation"<br /><br /><br />Steve’s argument is that storytelling is not enough to create the principles of customers driven and rapidly changing organizations the world needs today. There are other things you need to do first.<br /><br /><br /><br />Is this so?<br /><br /><br />Could it be that storytelling, rather than being the last step and the last chapter in the revolution, should actually be the first step, as it was for Steve himself? Should storytelling really be the first chapter in the revolution, not the last?<br /><br />The case for putting storytelling first<br />The seeds of the new organization lie in good communication. My own experience is that a good story told in the right way can create change companies in a positive way. That’s because storytelling creates life. And that’s what this revolution is all about: creating workplaces that are full of life.<br /><br />Before radio, television, video, PC and SmartPhones, we were dependent on the narrated story, if we wanted to learn something. Narrators were often poor and uneducated, but through storytelling they were able to shape the lives of others in a positive way. These were not just simple tales that were told. They are stories of destiny that people could mirror themselves in, amusing anecdotes to loosen up tense situations, deep stories with gravity and force. All stories were told to delight listeners.<br /><br />And delight was created not just because it was a great experience (a performance!), but because it was a chance to learn, to know more about life.<br /><br />And it was always personal, because an oral narrative was and is a personal experience for each listener. The pictures, which are created, are the listeners' own.<br /><br />And the relation between the teller and the listener could evolve as times changed and the listeners needed new stories. A communication designed to delight the listeners.<br /><br />Interaction<br /><br />In the past, organizations talked at people, sending one-way messages. In future, communication needs to be primarily two way.<br /><br />An oral story is exactly two way. You continually adjusts your story dymanic relative to your listeners, you imperceptibly influenced by their imaging, teller and listener creates a magical 'we'.<br /><br />An interaction that companies will have to take into everything they do in the future.<br /><br />This means that<br />Your company is included in an ethically, socially and environmentally sound interaction with the surrounding community<br />Your company enters into dialogue with customers<br />Your company is open about new products and that these be developed in collaboration with customers<br />Enterprise management creates actual stories that show the future possibilities and that management begins to live it, as the stories tell<br />Employees act in accordance with the values of the company and they tell stories when it happens - and that it is permissible to tell about the few times where values are being challenged<br />This is the germ of a new form of organization is first and foremost to the customers, the surroundings and the people best.<br /><br />In short, we are going to change the organization by changing the way we communicate.<br /><br />If that is so, shouldn’t storytelling be the first step, not the last?Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16351977.post-71980709890400935332010-04-20T01:37:00.001+02:002010-04-20T01:38:50.475+02:00<p lang="en-US" style="margin-left: 0.63in; margin-right: -0.06in; margin-bottom: 0in"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 13px; "><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Palatino, Book Antiqua, serif;"><span style="font-size: 30pt;font-size:6;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span lang="en-US"><i><span style="font-weight: normal">W</span></i></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span lang="en-US"><i>ashington, D.C., 2006.

Many leaders, however, have no background in storytelling and are confounded by how and when to share stories. In this seminar two individuals who have worked extensively in the field of organizational storytelling teach participants the basics, including the elements of an organizational story, when and how stories can be most effectively used in organizations, how stories told within an organization differ from stories told outside an organization, and how a story should be crafted to achieve specific goals and objectives.</p><img src="http://residentassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/http://residentassociates.org/ticketing/images/web-2010/000000.jpg" class="right" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 20px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; float: right; " /><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 18px; ">The seminar is led by <b style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Thaler Pekar</b>, founder and principal of Thaler Pekar & Partners, a consulting firm specializing in persuasive communications, and Svend-Eric Engh, author of <i style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Tell a Story: Be Heard, Be Understood, Get Action</i> (Fokus).</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 18px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px; "></span></p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 18px; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://residentassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/reserve.aspx?utm_source=VIARC&utm_medium=SIWeb&utm_campaign=Calendar&tmssource=181896&performanceNumber=219428">Registration</a></span></b></p></span><p></p>Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16351977.post-61698719813602361422010-01-11T22:20:00.002+01:002010-01-11T22:23:25.515+01:00StorysharingSome interesting points on the difference between storytelling (from top to bottom, predictable) and storysharing (in all levels, chaotic)-<div><br /></div><div>http://neurocooking.blogspot.com/2009/08/story-sharing-if-done-right-results-in.html</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16351977.post-4973665183433779582010-01-08T15:52:00.004+01:002010-01-08T16:43:50.519+01:00What is the outcome of Narrative?A very good friend of mine is the CEO of a little Green Tech Company in Hoersholm, Denmark.

In contrary Charisma is given to the person from the people, so it is an interaction between the person and the people, that creates the Charismatic person.<div><br /></div>Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16351977.post-42892536552412055222010-01-04T18:14:00.003+01:002010-01-04T18:23:07.906+01:00I -, We - and Future StoriesEvery leader needs four kind of stories.<div><br /><div>The Personal stories to create trust</div><div>The We stories to share delight</div><div>The Future stories to get a direction of the work </div><div>(these three kind of stories are descriptions from the reality!)</div><div><br /></div><div>The metaphors for given a wider perspective</div><div>(these kind of stories is often fiction!)</div><div><br /></div><div>Do you have any experiences with one of these stories?</div></div>Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16351977.post-67652040908434096092010-01-04T13:51:00.002+01:002010-01-04T13:58:05.676+01:00Morning ExerciseWhen I start a workshop, I often start with morning exercise. <div>In a circle, max. 250 people, needs an equal number.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. 2 and 2.

One says: “Why don´t we try with storytelling?” and starts explain that stories can make complex messages understandable. The other managers are sceptical. They don´t understand, it sounds a little strange and very modern.</span></span></p> <p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The managers are right. Storytelling (oral!) is strange and very modern.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span lang="en-US">Old fashion medias - </span><span lang="en-GB">books, Radio, TV, Movies and in many ways also the Internet (even though it is a more active from of communication it is still based on dead computers) - have one thing in common: They are based on one way communication. </span></span></span> </p> <p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">So in one sense it gives meaning to say that they don´t really care about you. You can fall in love, you can change your life, you can spend your time eating water melon or fish budding, you can die - they don´t care, because they can´t feel you.</span></span></p> <p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">It is the same with power point presentations: The speaker doesn´t really care about you. The whole set up is finished and you as a listener are there as part of a strange ritual, that you have to fullfill without understanding the reason. If you die in front of a presentator with a wonderful PowerPoint Presentation he probably would notice, but you can fall in love, talk to your neighbour, answer your e mails and do a lot of other thing while the PowerPoints seems to have their own will.</span></span></p> <p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">But then someone tells you a story, something else happens. The storyteller care! The listener care! You can´t die without the storyteller notice, you can´t fall in love without the storyteller is aware of your reaction. You can´t answer e mails without the storyteller noticing it. So what? I will tell you.</span></span></p> <p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">When you listen to a story, you know that you are important. You become part of the creation of the story.

De fik to børn, hvoraf den ene døde af kræft, da hun var 13 år.<br /><br />Vi taler ikke længe om min storesøster. Det er ikke et emne, min far har lyst til at dvæle ved.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I 1972 blev han jord – og betonarbejder og har været det lige siden.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Min far har talt sig varm.

Men sådan har det ikke altid været. I starten havde de deres kontroverser. En dag havde Svend Flugt sagt til min far, ’så nu kan du gå ned i skuret og køle af’. Min far kendte reglerne på en byggeplads og det er ikke ingeniøren, men sjakbajsen, der kan give den ordre. Så det fortalte min far en ophidset Sven Flugt. ’Du kan ikke sende mig ned i skuret, det er kun Jørgen der kan det.’ Og sådan blev det. Aage stod fast på sin rettighed og Sven Flugt måtte kapitulere.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Min far konstaterer tørt, ’at siden den dag har vi været de fineste venner’.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Jeg tænker på det der med at kunne sætte grænser for andre mennesker, når de træder ind over ens enemærker.

Det tog mig mange år at lære at sige fra. Måske fordi det eneste jeg havde med mig i bagagen var min mors tolerante og forstående følsomhed.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Set i bagspejlet var det ikke min mors skyld eller fejl. Det var sådan, verden var. Mændene skaffede pengene, kvinderne passede børnene.

Vi prøvede at definere en ny følsomhed fra mændenes side. I det projekt manglede vi vores fædre som rollemodeller.

Og det havde afgørende betydning for vores fælles liv. Vi begyndte at tale sammen om forskellige emner, som vi aldrig havde berørt før. Der var kommet en gensidig respekt ind i vores samvær, som vi begge nød.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">En vigtig ting var, at min far opdagede at jeg også arbejdede. Det havde han aldrig forstået før. Før arbejdet med filmen om ham i 1989 havde jeg lavet teaterforestillinger i Ungdomshuset på Jagtvej, organiseret teater - udvekslingsprojekter med italienske og afrikanske skuespillere, udgivet digte i Hvedekorn samt studeret Dramaturgi på Århus Universitet – alt sammen noget, som min far ikke kunne forholde sig til.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Da vi optog filmen på byggepladsen, var vi de første der kom om morgenen og de sidste, der tog af sted om aftenen. Vi opførte os ordentligt overfor hans sjak og blev taget godt imod. Vi knoklede for at lave en god film, og det skabte respekt.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Videoproduktionen fortsatte uden at min far forandrede attitude overfor projektet. Han var høflig og stillede aldrig spørgsmålstegn ved de ting, vi foreslog ham at gøre. Han gjorde det med en suveræn naturlighed i alt, hvad han foretog sig. Min far spillede aldrig min far. Min far var min far. Hele tiden.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Det kom der en rigtig god film ud af, Aage takker af, som TV2 Danmark købte til visning den 4. juni 1991. Da var min far og mor flyttet over til os i Jylland og min far var berømt i Galten en hel uge. Det tog han naturligvis, som han tog al anden virak: Med ophøjet ro og et ’nå ja, så vigtigt er det vel heller ikke’.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Min far døde i 2004 efter et langt og virksomt liv. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Se filmen <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre; "><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AD53rUgNgr4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AD53rUgNgr4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></span></span></span></span></p></span>Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16351977.post-19599959375599527862009-06-14T18:22:00.002+02:002009-06-14T18:28:14.241+02:00Reklame for Kurs i Muntligt Berättande Ljungby<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxyp_BDuByyhZHVBVEszyiESTt9BoFh706KS9_huitkY6VkHjYaXQNdxjMZl8fZ7cSYZ_Qgp9gkk6k' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Du kan tilmelde dig vårkursen 2010 <a href="http://www.sagomuseet.se">her</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16351977.post-86200261462901299782009-06-14T17:53:00.002+02:002009-06-14T18:02:13.962+02:00Kurs Muntligt Berättande i teori och praksis<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxeoYOFRNZO0V1fFJce10fPaoNW8ST4mpyU101mJCVKf7RHUdBwi791jI1yWjbVKxKozJPpMYeO3tg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Reklam för Kurs på Högskolan på Gotland, Högskolacentrum & Sagomuseet, Ljungby våren 2010 - tid at tilmelde sig!!</div>Svend-Erik Enghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679918664267972188noreply@blogger.com0
