Project Name: The Storytelling Club
Number of Days: 15 Training Day
Year: 2017
In the Storytelling Club, children learn to recognize their own strengths by going through their own achievements and telling about them. They learn to tell stories and dramatize. The Storytelling Club is meant to be a place full of sympathy and acceptance, a space in which children find their voices and grow. The Storytelling Club is offered by adults who are trained in pedagogy or therapy. Groups of 10-15 children (ages 8-12) meet regularly, and in each session they produce their own stories. So far we have worked with 150 children from Mokattam (garbage kids), Saint Catherine and Ismailia.
