Exploring the Art of Storytelling

Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF) presents a webinar-workshop on Exploring the Art of Storytellingfacilitated by Dr. Arundhati Sundar. The workshop in English will commence from 22 June 2024. This interactive webinar-workshop aims to help in crafting stories and developing storytelling skills.

Storytelling is an ancient art form, an entertainment at social gatherings, a bonding through shared memories in family circles, a celebration in festivals, an imaginative communication of wonders of the world. The accumulated knowledge and wisdom of a culture is handed down from generation to generation through stories. It is an essential skill for parents, grandparents, teachers and Balvihar Sevikas and Sevaks, and increasingly so in the corporate setting. Like any artform, it can be developed and mastered. Through planned exercises, the aim is to equip the participants with the essential skills to become effective storytellers.
