Stories at Work

Stories at Work brings professionals together to explore the human dimensions of work. As the name suggests, the program is built around stories – short works of fiction that provide the framework for considering ethical concerns and dilemmas in professional life. Participants read the stories in advance, then come together with a humanities facilitator to discuss the fictional characters and scenarios. In the process, participants explore parallel situations that arise in every day work lives.

"These are sensitive issues [client ethics] to communicate with colleagues…The play and the stories provided a real ‘open door’ to share everyone’s experiences and ideals…Many thanks to the Kansas Humanities Council. It was the best eight hours I’ve enjoyed in quite a while."
