What is Storytelling?
Stories are all around us in newspapers, books, on TV and on the Web. But storytelling happens when a story is told person to person, live, with no need for print or technology. Storytelling is a unique human skill and is one of our oldest artforms.
Everyone needs storytelling, young or old, and anyone can tell a story. Storytelling is entertainment, reminiscence, good company, inspiration and education all in one.
Teachers, community groups, arts and heritage organisations
StoryLab offers free hands-on ideas & events for early years, primary aged children & young people, plus online resources and a storytelling showcase of exciting and inspiring activities taking place across the country.
After the launch of StoryLab last year, our interactive website will continue to be updated with news on StoryLab projects and events nationwide, acting as an ongoing resource for young people and their teachers, parents and carers.
