Learn more about the art of Oral Storytelling

Part of Ottawa StoryTellers’ vision is to nurture and inspire both beginning and experienced storytellers. The Children’s Storytelling Mentorship Program is a paid opportunity for emerging storytellers to develop their skills with a focus on telling to and with children and youth.

Over a 6 month period you will meet regularly with your mentor to:

  • Identify your goals

  • Learn tools and techniques to achieve your goals

  • Gain feedback on your story skills

  • Discuss the role of Storytelling in your artistic and working life

  • Learn about the traditions of oral Storytelling

  • Learn about the Storytelling industry

  • Document your journey and reflect on your growth

  • Prepare a final performance and share the stage with your mentor

  • Assist experienced leaders and tellers in facilitating Youth and Children Storytelling Workshops

Enrich your life and your community by developing your skills as a Storyteller. For more information email youthandchildren@ottawastorytellers.ca
