Tell a tale
Workshop on “Story Telling”
An hour long workshop on “ Story Telling” was organized for students of class IV and V on May 4, 2012.

She was able to enter the world of that particular age group she was telling to and put those priorities, feelings and concerns into the story telling. To empower the participants and to add spice to this process students were encouraged to make suggestions about what happens next and then incorporating those suggestions in the story. Discussion after story telling allowed students to express their understanding of the metaphors, symbols used in the story.
