About the Programme
As you age, you accumulate a wealth of stories through various life experiences and people that you meet. Discover how you can turn these experiences into an engaging oral story through the use of storytelling strategies, and share your life lessons and values with others.
In this four-part workshop, Storytellers Wong Swee Yean and Anamika Bhati will guide you through a process of reminiscence to recall memories and share them. You will learn the basics of how to craft and present a personal story as well as how to make audio recordings with your own mobile device.
Participants will need to bring along their mobile device for the workshop.
