Take a trip across the ocean with us this week as we learn about the traditions, practice, and role of storytelling in East Africa. Not only is this week’s class full of interesting ideas, learning, and people doing cool things, but there are also a couple of amazing stories from internationally celebrated storytellers Chunga Otiende (founder of Story Makers Society in Kenya) and Tololwa Mollel!

If you are curious about the practice of storytelling, our guests this week have some great ideas of how to sharpen your telling practices to entertain and educate your audiences.

As you will hear, storytelling plays a very important role in East Africa, and across Africa as a whole. Africa is a VERY large continent, and in case you need a geography refresher, here is a map to explore while listening to tonights class.
