Chinmaya International Foundation and Chinmaya Vishwavidhyapeeth present a webinar-workshop on Exploring the Art of Storytelling, facilitated by Smt. Arundhati Sundar. The webinar in English will commence from 11th April, 2021. This interactive webinar aims at developing the storytelling skills of the participants and help them in becoming master storytellers.
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, passing on the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of a culture from generation to generation. It is an essential skill for parents, teachers and Balavihar Sevika/Sevaks. Like any art-form, it can be developed and mastered. Through planned exercises, the aim is to equip the participants with the essential skills to become effective storytellers.
