The Art of Creative Storytelling — a 7-day immersive workshop designed to unlock the storyteller within you. Over the course of one week, we’ll journey together through the heart of narrative: from discovering your unique voice to crafting powerful characters, structuring compelling plots, and adapting your stories across different media. This isn’t just theory — it’s practice, performance, and personal growth.

Through hands-on exercises, real-life African/Nigerian case studies, and engaging group activities, you’ll learn how to transform everyday experiences into captivating tales. We’ll explore how to use emotion and persuasion to not only entertain but also inspire and influence.

Each day builds on the last, guiding you from the basics of story foundations to the thrill of showcasing your final narrative at our Grand Showcase.

Whether you’re a writer, filmmaker, artist, entrepreneur, activist, or simply someone with a story burning inside, this workshop offers practical tools, reflection opportunities, and creative challenges to stretch your imagination. You’ll leave not only with sharpened storytelling skills but also with a deeper appreciation of African voices, traditions, and modern creative expressions.
