Story Time for Testers

Add to calendar

Stories help us learn. They can be fun or scary, exciting or relaxing. People worldwide tell and listen to stories, and we access them through books, film, TV, and IT. But the direct experience of face-to-face storytelling is still a powerful experience. When Isabel Evans was young, there was a program on the radio called Listen with Mother. For fifteen minutes, mothers and children across the country would sit and listen to a story. Join Isabel and become your inner child. Bring your testing parent and listen to her stories. In fifteen-minute sections, Isabel recounts stories drawn from myths, legends, and fairy tales to provide you with pleasure, entertainment, and lessons for life. All have lessons that relate to the conference and to your testing work. Come and listen, be delighted, surprised, and perhaps shocked—but entertained and educated. Learn new ways to interpret your work situation and take home old wisdoms.
