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

When Stories Speak: Folktales and Drama in the EFL Classroom - Evi Karydi

About the workshop

This hands-on workshop shows how the Palestinian folktale Milk is for Milk and Water is for Water can spark active language learning. Through drama techniques—teacher-in-role, thought-tracking, and collective retelling—participants explore how stories foster communication, creativity, and intercultural understanding. Leave with practical, low-prep strategies for joyful, story-rich EFL teaching.
