Storytelling in Education - April 23-24, 2012
This year the Festival, along with the Smoky Hill Educational Service Center, is sponsoring two days of clinics with storyteller, Kim Weitkamp. Kim will be teaching not only classroom techniques using storytelling to enhance learning, but also the basics in storytelling for both children and educators. Half-day sessions will be filled with opportunities to improve one's understanding of storytelling, lesson plans to implement learning, and techniques for teaching a variety of learning styles.
Volunteer at the Festival
The Kansas Storytelling Festival could not happen year after year without its wonderful volunteers who are the heart of this event. Every volunteer, from the set-up crews to the clubs who provide delicious desserts at the concerts, is an asset and deeply appreciated. Volunteers annually provide hospitality, organizational skills, and manual labor to make the Festival weekend a welcoming celebration of stories.
If you would like to volunteer at the Festival, contact the festival coordinator, Gerry Yost, at 785.454.3808 or lgyost@ruraltel.net.
