Storytelling for a Better World
Workshop with David Heathfield
(Sat 5 Apr: 10:30am)
Explore and address challenging global issues through telling powerfully simple traditional wisdom tales from the world's oral cultures. What we learn from these tales is not just what happens in a story but how we respond to it, both individually and collectively. Creative response offers us insights about how we could make the world better.
During this workshop, participants will tell stories and do creative response activities developed over years of experience working, learning and exchanging stories with people from all over the world: learners of English of all ages, levels and profiles, teachers at all stages of their development and storytellers in all their wonderful diversity.
