DIPLOMA COURSE IN STORYTELLING

WHY A DIPLOMA FOR STORYTELLING

The Diploma Course opens you to a whole new dimension of Storytelling. You will explore and discover stories that have evolved through time in different regions of the World. You will travel to myths and mysteries of fantasy worlds and discover the difference between a legend and a fairy tale or the time difference between a folk tale and a fable.

Why were they told and what did it mean to people, will be the journey that will leave you with awe and a sense of wonder. And, through this, connect you to your own source.

We equip you with new skills from the field of music, arts and craft, besides allowing you to discover your own potential to discover yourself as a truly professional storyteller.
