Teachers Telling Tales

Workshops in Oral Storytelling for Grown-ups

We offer workshops to promote learning and practice of oral storytelling.
At the moment, we have the following offerings.

'Teachers Telling Tales' is an immersive workshop series for teachers, and educators, who wish to use stories in schools.

These are virtual workshops for groups. For large groups or personalised learning needs, kindly write to us.

As the word 'storytelling' is popularly used to mean many things (fairytales, marketing, cinema, literature, public speaking), it is common for people to feel quite excited or confused about what exactly are we offering. It's important to build a shared understanding of what we consider 'stories', 'storytelling' and 'storytellers'.

We offer a virtual hour long group Orientation - 'why' and 'how' of storytelling for teachers and parents. If you are a passionate teacher/parent, school or organisation, collaborate with us to organise this.

TEACHERS TELLING TALES

A six month workshop series for teachers and educators

How can we use stories in schools beyond the moralizing and memorizing that we are used to?

Storytelling has been found to support learning and socio-emotional well being of students, as well as teachers. This workshop series is informed by action research work done with teachers in India to explore how storytelling is presently and how can teachers learn and practice more.

Drawing from research and experiential knowledge of working with children and adolescents, this workshop enables teachers, young and old, to re-examine their pedagogical beliefs and learn innovative practices related to stories and storytelling. .

This workshop is offered in two languages (Hindi, English) in two separate batches. There is a special batch for pre-school teachers and early childhood educators.

Next workshop is scheduled from February, 2025.

What Our Participants Say

"One amazing aspect of this story telling course is that if you want to learn money won't be an issue. There are scholarships for students and whoever needs it.

As this new journey unfolded, something gradually began to shift inside me. One thing I will always carry with me is this: in a world that often feels ready to blame us and pull us down, Ankit is the person who taught me to forgive myself and to simply be me, despite my contradictions. They weren't just sessions; it was a process of healing.

When the wounds started healing for me on the second day, I realized that although I had entered with no expectations, the experience gave me exactly what I needed most - lessons for life. The space allowed me to feel warmth and safety, and I encountered truly humanish humans there. We saw real flaws, real stories, and real emotions that went far beyond professional boundaries, age, language, culture, and the beyond.

I found the courage to make mistakes without fear. I laughed out loud at the wonderfully weird things shared by my peers, and I learned things that words simply cannot describe. This journey unfolded the new path to story telling.

If you ever get the chance to join, I highly recommend you don't miss it. Otherwise, you might just miss a beautiful path to finding yourself in a world full of stories."
