They are a sum of your personal stories, lived experiences, learnt wisdom, acquired learnings and values that make you who you are! Your personal story is a story you own.

A few weeks back, a particular episode of #TheMoth Radio Hour reminded me a particular #365Days365Stories Prompt, ***“Describe a significant milestone story that changed the course of your life story.”*** This prompt was written to enable people to find their ‘𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀’. We all have at least ONE pivotal story in our lives, even if it has brought on a minor shift in our mindset, our work, or our relationship with people or work. These stories of transformation could be seen as the ‘coming of age moment’, or a turning point, or a juncture that defines the division between ‘before’ and ‘after’. What is the 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝘁, how do you identify a singular, pivotal moment from your life, and how do you craft it into a story?

As any organisation that touches a milestone year, it is natural to introspect on the journey made so far... The question is, "What has Your Story Bag been able to do in Storytelling in 10 years?" While the answer to this can be a long story, we prefer to keep it short & interesting. Let's say, we have explored the storied way to go into territories that very few have! It's natural that we step ahead to explore new horizons and walk the storied way with those who are leveraging storytelling more strategically in the world.

In a photograph, in a scene, in objects sitting across in your field of vision, you would see things in the foreground and the background. The photographer may choose to focus on the two, depending on what he / she wants you to see. Similarly, when you look up to observe what’s before you, that which is attractive, important, significant takes prominence. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗼!

🎶✨ The Magic of Music and Movement in Early Education! ✨🎶 In all of our story work with young children, we have realised that nothing works better than music and movement. Magic happens when you move little bodies, inviting them to sing, dance and move with a story. You don’t need to be a trained musician, or be a fantastic singer to do this. All you need is simple melody, a beat and a silly tune!! Children love it! Over the years, we have devised some innovative & fun ways to incorporate songs in storytelling. Silly-Dilly Songs, to Sing-a-Book, strategies like Tale-a-Rhyme and Rhyme-a-Tale help us enhance a child’s cognitive, emotional, and physical development with music. 🎵🕺 From boosting memory and language skills to fostering creativity and self-expression, music and movement creates a dynamic and engaging learning environment. Plus, it’s a fun way to improve motor skills and coordination! 🤸♀️🎸 If you want to learn our strategies of rhythm and dance join us in ✨𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘆!✨ Built on the tenets of #𝗡𝗘𝗣𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬 and #𝗡𝗖𝗙𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯, 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 is the most comprehensive program on 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗴𝘆.
