Education and Training
Stories are a uniquely human form of learning …
… and some research shows that our brains have specific neurons just for narrative. For me that means that hearing stories and learning to tell them as part of our ongoing education connects us on a fundamental level to our humanity – and that’s a learning journey I love to be a part of.
- For pre-schools, my Storyplaytime sessions take well-loved tales as the theme for an activity session. Sessions have songs and games (always including a parachute game!) for children and staff to play together and always end with an interactive telling of the story.
- For schools, I offer traditional and interactive storytelling and story making workshops, individually tailored for each Key Stage. Whole school packages are available to make the best use of tight budgets!
- For adults, I offer storytelling workshops either as one-day events or as short courses. These are available as packages for venues and organisations to offer to their attendees, staff or students
- For businesses, I offer narrative consultancy: listening and probing the story of your business and playing it back so you better understand your path to now and the possibilities for where your story might take you next.
Get in touch and tell me about your learning story and let’s see what tales we can spin in to the future.
“Justine was absolutely brilliant! Our children were engaged and excited during the sessions. Teachers thoroughly enjoyed it too. Thank you to Justine and thank you to all involved in arranging this.”
