We are pleased to invite you to a very special evening: our Storytelling Evening on 6 September 2024 from 16:30 together with and at the vhs Leipzig!
Inspired by our Erasmus+ project StoryComp, which aims to open up new ways of teaching knowledge for adult educators through storytelling, we would like to offer you the opportunity to experience this fascinating concept.
However, this evening is not only interesting for adult educators who want to use storytelling to impart knowledge and skills in their practice, but for everyone who loves stories. Are you a learner and want to find out how much foreign language you already understand and how much fun it is to listen to stories in other languages? Are you a family and want to spend an enjoyable evening and see how your children get involved in stories, join in and get excited? Then our storytelling evening is just the thing for you.
Participation is free of charge, registration is requested. Click here to register directly.
