A Magical Learning Experience

Each storytelling session is a powerful mix of music, movement, magic and vocal expression designed to conjure up a truly magical experience for all. The participatory nature of the workshops encourages those taking part to become part of the story, allowing them to tap into their own imagination.

This give children a wonderful sense of achievement and a much needed boost to their self-esteem.

All stories are told in traditional African storytelling style.  


Storytelling Workshops

Story Building Programmes and Inset Teacher Training demonstrate how the transformative power of stories can have a positive effect on those who know how to use them.  This is a multisensory, participatory activity that includes:

  • Movement
  • Music
  • Singing
  • Call and Response
  • Verse and Rhyme
