Storytelling is being used increasingly to improve student engagement and understanding. Stories make your message a lot more engaging and provide connection. Students remember complex information better and can empathize better. Are you curious about the possibilities of applying storytelling or do you already do this regularly and would you like to share your experiences? Then come to Storytelling café on June 5, 2024.

Exchanges, inspiration & meetings

Storytelling café is an informal gathering where teachers meet for an interactive discussion led by storyteller Sjoukje Kerman (TLC-Central). Many teachers already unconsciously use storytelling while teaching. Different types of stories, such as personal anecdotes, case studies, historical narratives and stories to clarify concepts, are often already applied in teaching without explicit intention. Research also shows that the purposeful application of storytelling leads to increased motivation and reflection in students.

Please join us in (re)discovering the extensive possibilities of storytelling in our academic teaching. Join conversations, share experiences and learn ways to engage and inspire your students on both intellectual and emotional levels.
