Storytelling is a great way to connect with people, pass on information and have fun!

Develop confidence your in your oral storytelling abilities while learning an easy way to remember stories. We’re going to learn how to listen to, adapt and tell stories through a traditional African folktale.

In this workshop we will:

  • Learn the bones of the story
  • Fill in the story through our own creative imagination
  • Get tips and tricks to remember your story
  • Develop storytelling confidence
  • Share your story with the group
