As part of the 2025-2026 series of Storytelling Workshops, we present:

Personal and creative storytelling: telling our stories - David Heathfield

About the workshop

Storytelling is a deeply creative part of being human. We learn about ourselves from the stories we are told and the stories we tell. The classroom is a perfect environment for teachers and students to tell stories about our own lives and experiences.

In this practical online workshop we’ll explore playful and fulfilling activities which are designed to build students' confidence and fluency in personal storytelling.

Our students can get a clear sense of themselves as creators of their own stories and, at the same time, they learn to communicate more creatively.
