About the competition

Storytelling is one of the most important approaches where people feel connected and it also promotes the culture, ethics and moral values. It tells the students about the good and bad things. Children can differentiate the different shades of life. It also promotes kindness, lenience, respect, and accountability. Storytelling and literacy is well related to each other and creates a love for a different language and motivate people to read and express. Vocabulary, comprehension, sequencing, retention and imaginative writing are the other benefits of storytelling.

Art and technology without imagination are like a melody without a gadget. By Visualization it, we generate the possibility.

When kids "play a story out" they have a chance to change the characters, the conflict or the resolution. When you make those types of variations you see the potentials in a story and in life. It empowers a youngster to transform their world.
