The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think but to give you questions to think upon.
A captivating session of Korean folktales was organised by the Korean Cultural Centre at The Indian School-Second Shift on 26 September, 2017. This was yet another exercise to introduce the children to diverse cultures around the world.
The session, comprising of 3 folk tales from South Korea, was conducted by 3 Indian artistes, trained in South Korea. The voice, intonation and enactment with accoutrements, left the students of classes 2 to 6 captivated!

They focused on the importance of being righteous and good conduct. Each tale was accompanied by a Korean folk song which caught the attention of the children who hummed sang along happily.
It was a unique opportunity for the children to learn about Korean culture. The children related to the characters emotionally and responded actively when asked what they would do if they were the character!
