 ><p><strong>What is storytelling?</strong></p><p>Storytelling is the socia
 l and cultural activity of sharing stories\, sometimes with improvisation\
 , theatrics\, or embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or narra
 tives\, which are shared as a means of entertainment\, education\, cultura
 l preservation or instilling moral values. If you're new to storytelling\,
  I recommend checking out&nbsp\;<a href=\"https://www.birbigs.com/\" rel=\

 \;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+moth+hour\" r
 el=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Moth Hour</a>&nbsp\;on Yo
 uTube to understand our definition of live storytelling and see what's pos
 sible.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What is storytelling not?</strong></p><p>F
 or this workshop\, we will not be reading written texts aloud although the
  workshop does involve writing.</p><p>Storytelling in this workshop is not
  a kind of therapy\, although we will be examining our personal narratives
  to extract authentic stories for sharing.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What s
 hould I bring with me?</strong></p><p>Please bring a notebook\, pen\, and 
 a personal story that you want to develop further.</p><p>There will also b
 e plenty of games and group work\, so it is essential that participants ca
 n attend both sessions.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>When is it?</strong></p><
 p>The two-day workshop takes place on the following dates:</p><p><strong>1
 5:00-19:00 on Saturday 7 November</strong></p><p><strong>10:00-13:00 on Su
 nday 8 November</strong></p><p><br></p><em class=\"echo\" style=\"backgrou
