Construkt Open Mic (Finale)

Storytelling has a long history in India as an Oral memory. Through thetalk the objective would be to choose the right story at the right time . It can be in business, education , volunteering or conservation .

Outline #

Our memories are built strongly on how we connect to things visually and Orally . Over a period of time I use folklore and stories to build this memory with the audience eith in the classroom , office or in a public space . A simple story like the Hare and the tortoise can be used in multiple spaces to strike the required effect .

Requirements #

An open mind to listen and interact :)
