The Narrative Impact Cycle is:
A structured cycle for how narratives influence, shift, and embed understanding, identity, and behaviour. It is the bridge between theory and classroom action.
It explains how narratives:
- Enter awareness
- Are interpreted
- Influence belief
- Shape identity
- Reinforce behaviour
- Become cultural or personal norms
In practice it is used for:
- lesson design
- PD design
- anti-hate education
- identity and bias work
- media literacy
- reflection activities
Simple definition:
“How narratives actually change people.”
