Storytelling, Culture & Learning

Workshops, learning journeys and shared experiences shaped by myth, culture and the living world.

I design and facilitate storytelling experiences that draw from African mythology, global folklore and ecological knowledge. These sessions use story as a way to learn, reflect, remember and reconnect with ourselves, with one another, and with the world around us.

This work supports children, adults, and communities in exploring imagination, culture, and belonging through story-led learning.

Why Story?

Stories carry memory. They hold cultural knowledge, ecological wisdom and emotional truth. Across many traditions, stories have always been how we teach, how we remember and how we make sense of change.

By returning to myth and storytelling, we create opportunities to slow down, ask deeper questions, explore identity, and cultivate imagination.

Storytelling, Culture & Learning

How this work takes shape

Each experience is shaped by the people, place and purpose involved. I work across schools, community spaces, cultural settings and outdoor environments, creating learning journeys that are participatory, reflective and rooted in care. Story is used not as content to consume, but as a tool for:

listening
meaning-making
creative expression
collective reflection

Sessions are designed to meet people where they are, honouring lived experience, curiosity and cultural memory.

What these experiences might include

Depending on the context, this work can involve:

storytelling sessions rooted in African mythology and folktales
creative writing and imaginative response
drawing, making and visual storytelling
sound, music and listening practices
outdoor story walks and nature-based reflection
intergenerational storytelling spaces
learning through myth, symbol and metaphor

Stories may be told, read, listened to, rewritten, continued or responded to creatively. The emphasis is always on participation rather than performance.

Who is this for?

schools and educators
community groups and CICs
families and intergenerational groups
cultural organisations and libraries
youth groups and adult learning spaces
organisations exploring culture, wellbeing and belonging

Sessions can be adapted for different ages, access needs and learning styles.
