Primary Teachers
- Read, tell and perform stories with children to help them develop language awareness and appropriation.

- Help children develop their creative and critical thinking skills

- Think, plan and carry out a variety of related activities to work with stories in the classroom: games, interactive reading, performing, etc.
The workshop explores the possibilities stories offer to help children develop language awareness and appropriation through activities that involve bodies in motion. A number of highly interactive and collaborative games will provide the space for exploration and discovery.

Be ready to engage in tasks that will put you to work actively in collaborative contexts.
