What is
storytelling?
Storytelling is the art of conveying
narratives to an audience.
It communicates events,
experiences, or emotions
through words or visuals.
At its core, storytelling is about
connecting with others using a narrative.
A good story has four elements:
a character, a problem,
a mission, and a solution.
Why use
storytelling in
identity design?
The significance of storytelling lies in its ability
to connect people, to evoke emotions, and
to convey complex ideas in a memorable
and engaging way.
It evokes feelings.
It’s relatable.
It’s easier to remember.

Morgenbooster: Storytelling in Identity Design
Time Children’s right Perserverance
This symbol represents time:
The time it takes for a seed to
be planted and for change to
spread through generations.
This symbol represents the
voice of the children. For far
too long, they have been
silenced but we enable them to
speak up for themselves
This symbol represents that
though we are fighting an
uphill battle, we’ll keep climb-
ing, one step at a time, until we
reach our goal.
Love Passion Hope Involvement
This symbol represents love
and compassion which is at
the heart of everything we do
This symbol represents that we
are fighters. We won’t be
silenced. We will keep
addressing the issues and
speaking up about children’s
rights until innocent children
are no longer accused of being
witches.
This symbol represents a new
day. A new beginning. No
matter how hard today is, the
sun will rise again tomorrow.
And hope
lies ahead.
This symbol represents The
Children’s Parliament at Land
of Hope. A concept we
designed to teach our children
about cooperation, democracy
and responsibility.
Knowledge Education Enlightment
This symbol represents
knowledge. If you look
closely, you will see four
books creating a stream of
knowledge. For a true wave
of change to form, all it takes
is a little, persistent stream of
new ideas.
This symbol represents
education and that the pen is
mightier than the sword.
Because with education comes
knowledge and by spreading
knowledge, we can get rid of
superstitions.
This symbol represents
enlightenment which is the key
to break hurtful superstitions.
We need to speak up (!) and
provide information (i) in order
to enlighten superstitious
communities.
