Storytelling for lecturers

Storytelling is the art of telling stories. It's not just about sprinkling facts in the classroom: it's about creating an emotional connection with your students. This is how they really learn. Stories can clarify complex topics and improve engagement. Facts support your story so that it really reaches your target audience. 

This course provides lecturers with the skills to present their teaching and ideas more effectively through storytelling. It focuses on clear communication, improving engagement and inspiring students.
