Story Telling in the Classroom
Geeta Ranamujam (kathalaya) - Galle & Jaffna
For children, the delight of a story, even the simplest one is akin to an adventure. Storytelling enables teachers to introduce the world and its concepts to the younger generation.
The Serendipity Trust coordinated an Outreach Programme as part of the Fairway Galle Literary Festival. As part of this progamme, we presented teacher training opportunities to primary and secondary teachers in Galle & Jaffna led by Geeta Ranamujam of Kathalaya Story telling Academy, India.
Over 100 student teachers from the Amarasuriya Teacher Training College took part in a session held in Galle. A 2-day residential training programme was also held for teachers from the Northern Province at Stanley College in Jaffna.
Teachers discovered how to spin a yarn in specialised training sessions led by Geeta Ramanujam and her colleagues of Kathalaya, an organisation that has trained over 70,000 people around the world.
Geeta Ramanujam has also established and founded the Academy of Storytelling; the only globally recognized Academy for Storytelling in the World. She is also the Indian Coordinator for the International Storytelling Network –RIC besides being the Indian coordinator of the Indian Storytelling Network.
