FUNDAMENTALS OF ORAL STORYTELLING COURSE 2027
We are pleased to announce the dates for the next course 23 March - 25 May 2027.
The course is taught via Zoom on Tueesdays. Each session will be 105-mins long, from 5pm to 6.45pm Singapore time
Since this course was launched in 2023 we have welcomed participants from Australia, Egypt, Germany, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, South Korea, the UAE and Vietnam who all rated it very highly. Participants have described it as well-structured, richly detailed and packed with practical content which the three experienced teller/trainers delivered in a friendly and supportive environment.
They also appreciated having a one-on-one 60-minute story clinic with Jeeva Raghunath to work on a story of their choice, which is included in the course package.

Who is the course for?
Beginning storytellers, those with some experience who have not had formal training, and those who are starting to teach storytelling workshops. Teachers, parents, librarians, community workers - and anyone who’d like to learn how to tell a story more effectively, without memorisation so as to engage and hold an audience’s attention.
How is it taught?
Online via 10 sessions of 105 minutes each (see schedule below). The course includes plenty of practical work on making a story your own, vocal exercises, and ways of making your telling more interactive and engaging. The course culminates in a story showcase featuring all participants.
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to all participants who attend 70% of the course and share a story in the final showcase (session 10).
