I highly recommend her as a workshop presenter and also to work with children and teachers directly in the classroom. It is a joy to experience Noa’s enthusiastic delivery and passion for storytelling

Get ready for hands-on, interactive, fun workshops! Noa will bring out the creativity in your group, improve communication, and encourage growth. Learn useful models and come away with valuable tools for using story in the classroom. Workshops also include handouts and a comprehensive bibliography.

All workshops are customized for your group.Workshops run from 90 minutes to 3 hours, or are available as a full day or weekend event.

 

The Art of Storytelling

Experience your creativity and find your unique storyteller voice. Bring a story to life by learning to tell it rather than memorizing it. You will discover the valuable role storytelling plays in the cognitive, emotional, and social development of children.
