Digital Storytelling for English Access Teachers
Teachers experience the creative process themselves before adapting it for their own classrooms. Every workshop is shaped by local educational goals, language contexts, and the people who participate.
What Happens in a STORYCORD Workshop?
Teachers begin as storytellers.
Working alongside colleagues, participants write, revise, record, and illustrate a short multimedia story drawn from their own experience.
Through the process they experience the same reflection, creativity, and collaboration they later invite their own students to explore.
The workshop is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real classroom application.

What Makes STORYCORD Different?
Every educational community is different.
STORYCORD adapts a shared creative practice to local teachers, educational goals, languages, and cultural contexts.
Whether in Cambodia, Mongolia, Tajikistan, or elsewhere, the process remains the same while every project becomes uniquely shaped by the people who participate.
