In 2011 the Sheherazade project was launched and wished to raise awareness of the potential of Storytelling as an educational tool. As part of this project materials and methodologies were developed for the use of stories and storytelling in adult teaching and learning. Using stories and storytelling techniques, the trainer is introducing a great tool within the training process. By offering content as a narrative, transformed into images, one improves the quality of the transfer of this content, introducing stories and storytelling as a tool "performed" by adult learners us a great way to improve creativity, linguistic, social, emotional and artistic skills.
This manual offers ideas and material to help teacher trainers and adult educators apply storytelling in their daily practice.
