Storytelling, Online Workshops
We are lured by the magic of stories right from childhood. We may forget the first academic lesson learnt in school but we never forget the stories our parents or teachers narrated to us. We can still connect to how they made us feel, the morals they taught us. That’s the power of stories and storytelling!
Harness the Power of Storytelling
The practice of storytelling is as ancient as human civilization. For ages now, stories have been used not only to entertain but also to pass on knowledge, wisdom and values across generations. iikonz, the upskilling academy, aims at empowering people to harness the power of storytelling in today’s times to get ahead in their professional arenas.
The role of storytelling in training, especially in that of kids, is vital. Stories create a connection between the learners and the lessons that facilitates learning and aids retention of information. iikonz’ Storytelling Workshop for teachers and parents is designed to not only train participants how to narrate a story but also to understand the art and science behind storytelling. Our interactive discussions, theatre-based classroom activities, and regular assignments provide ample opportunity for the participants to develop their story creation and narration skills, and enhance their communication and public speaking skills. The Storytelling Workshop will prove beneficial to teachers, parents, and other professionals who teach, train, coach, or counsel children.
There’s a storyteller hidden in all of us whether we realize it or not. Many of us have, at some point or other, toyed with the idea of writing a book, a play, or a script—to tell a story that entertains, influences, and moves the audience. We at iikonz believe it’s never too late to explore that creative urge in you. Our STAGE-A-STORY Online Storytelling Event provides a platform to budding storytellers, creative story writers and story makers to create and narrate their stories. This platform not only enables you to hone your story writing and drama skills, but also your communication and public skills.
