The resource persons enlightened the participants about ancient traditions of oral storytelling, folk tales, myths, legends and fables to the Panchatantra, Jataka tales and the Kathasaritsagara. Even in today’s technology-driven world, where artificial intelligence, digital classrooms and multimedia have transformed education, storytelling continues to remain a timeless pedagogy.

Participating teachers presented different concepts and topics from their respective subject areas through the storytelling method. Their presentations demonstrated how even complex academic concepts can be transformed into engaging narratives. Various warm up activities made the day energetic.

The enriching programme inspired educators to look beyond conventional textbook-based instruction and harness the timeless power of storytelling. It reaffirmed a simple yet profound pedagogical truth: when a lesson becomes a story, learning becomes an experience—and experiences stay with us long after the lesson is over.
