Storytelling is perhaps the oldest art form, dating back to prehistoric times and likely as far back as the beginning of speech, and has long been a way that people pass on morals and lessons down through the generations. Which is to say, passing on learning.

Come learn about storytelling from master storyteller Rebecca Sheir, host of the wildly popular storytelling podcast Circle Round and a new book called The Great Ballgame. We’ll talk about why storytelling is such an effective learning experience, how stories transcend cultural boundaries, and what Rebecca has learned from telling stories.
