Key Highlights:

The session began by redefining storytelling, not just as entertainment, but as a tool to share knowledge, values, and emotion in the classroom.
Teachers explored which types of stories resonate best with students, and how they can use relatable content to improve engagement.
Dr. Chauhan took attendees on a journey through the evolution of storytelling - from cave paintings to digital formats, highlighting its continued relevance.
Traditional tales like Thakurmar Jhuli were used as examples of how cultural stories can connect deeply with learners and promote values.
Participants discussed the use of art, drawing, and multimedia tools in modern storytelling, bringing textbook content to life.
The session also tackled digital storytelling challenges, like poor interactivity and the need for quality tools in remote settings.
A practical segment focused on specific storytelling techniques and how to integrate them with subjects across grades, especially in English and Social Science.

Storytelling isn’t just for bedtime anymore, it’s fast becoming one of the most powerful ways to teach. This session encouraged teachers to bring their own creativity into lessons and to use stories to help students think more clearly, feel more deeply, and learn more effectively.

The webinar was packed with real examples, thoughtful questions, and plenty of inspiration. Teachers left not just with techniques, but with a whole new mindset - ready to turn every lesson into a story that stays with their students long after the bell rings.
