Stories can be shared in many ways. They can be spoken, written, sung, drawn or danced – held in memory and passed down through generations of storytellers or kept in a book and brought to life in the imagination of a reader. They can be enjoyed around a fire or explored on a walk outdoors. In a group or all alone, in their many forms, stories have one thing in common: they love to be shared!
In this 3-part series, we invite caregivers and preschoolers to join local storytellers in a variety of outdoor locations around qathet, reflecting the diversity of stories that enrich our communities and our lives and help us make sense of the world we share. Everyone welcome!
