SHARE YOUR STORY
Welcome to a series of workshops on the Art of Storytelling!
It is a combination of live and online events and they will be carried out in English and Serbian. Hop on and enjoy the ride!
What are we going to do in the workshops?
• At the beginning, we will use Points of You tool to get us started telling stories, as well as videos (TED Talks and other) to see examples of how good storytellers do it;
• We will look at the elements of a good story, then get down to work and practise developing, shaping and telling YOUR story;
• Moreover, you will get a handbook with some useful tips and materials (grammar and vocabulary) for telling stories in English.
At the end of the series of workshops, you will be invited (and encouraged) to tell your own stories in front of an audience. There will also be prizes for the best stories/storytellers at the end.
