“Stories are the threads that weave us together, connecting hearts, minds, and generations.”

On 5th December 2024, the Middle Stage of Ahlcon International School hosted a captivating storytelling session led by renowned Irish storyteller Joe Brennan. Known for his dynamic narration and engaging tales, Mr. Brennan mesmerized over 100 Class VI students with four enchanting stories: The Boy and the Dragon, The Witch Hare, The Little Prince, and Jackie Chan.

The session was designed to:

– Foster active listening by building a connection between the storyteller and the audience.

– Inspire creativity and imagination by introducing students to diverse characters, ideas, and settings.

– Strengthen memory retention by presenting compelling plots, memorable characters, and thought-provoking themes.

Joe Brennan began by warmly addressing the students, setting a magical tone for the storytelling. Each story unfolded with vivid descriptions and intriguing plots, transporting the audience to imaginative worlds. From a boy inspiring a dragon to share its wisdom to a clever prince defending his kingdom and a heroic dog saving his family, every tale delivered lessons in bravery, creativity, and empathy.

The session concluded with an interactive Q&A, where students enthusiastically asked about Mr. Brennan’s inspirations and storytelling techniques. His responses encouraged them to view storytelling as a powerful form of self-expression and a way to connect with others.

This enriching session reflected Ahlcon International School’s commitment to holistic education, promoting creativity, cultural awareness, and imaginative growth among its students.
