In this Professional Development workshop you will learn the why and the how of basic storytelling as a way to inform, educate or persuade. The power of storytelling has been recognised in the business realm for decades, but with some guidance educators, community leaders and public speakers can tap into this powerful type of communication.

In this 3-hour workshop you will:
~ learn how the brain is hard-wired to receive and remember information encoded in a story.
~ learn how to use storytelling in your context, whether you are educating, inspiring, community-building or campaigning
~ learn how to contextualise or frame stories or illustrate a principle
~ connect with other participants in a safe community of learning via story in pairs, small groups and large group discussions

No storytelling or drama experience is necessary. 

Youth Offer
