🏚️Tales Interview Card

To use the TALES interview kit, begin by preparing a comfortable and quiet space for the interview. The interviewer selects relevant question cards or prompts from the kit, tailored to the individual's interests or life stages. During the interview, the interviewer encourages the interviewee to share their life story, memories, and experiences in response to the prompts. Active listening is key, with the interviewer asking follow-up questions to delve deeper into specific moments or themes. The process is fluid and allows for natural conversation, with the goal of creating a meaningful narrative that captures the essence of the individual's life. TALES provides a structured framework for conducting interviews that preserve personal stories and foster connections between interviewers and interviewees.
