Storytelling Workshop tour

Job Outline

We will be recruiting three Storytellers to participate in one national tour of Italy, presenting interactive workshops, in English. In this tour, we transform classrooms into a dream space, where the children are led interactively through one of our three enchanting stories. These again focus on a particular language level, theme and grammatical point. This group works exclusively with primary school students.

Typically each facilitator will perform 3 or 4 workshops a day, at multiple Italian schools, and then travel afterwards. Each Storyteller works with an individual group of students in their classroom. The workshops are led independently (and simultaneously) by each facilitator, and the average number of students per group is 20.
