StoryExpress

Storyexpress was launched with the vision of supporting and assisting educators to reach out to young minds and tap their
potential through the art of storytelling and story writing in languages familiar to them.

Storytellers make the stories come alive

Every child is blessed with an ability to think, imagine and create stories in their own unique way. Our storytellers while engaging children make the stories come alive through voice modulation, puppets, masks, paintings, music, role-play and films.

A Story Fest

Our structured programs help us to reach out to every child even when working with groups of 100+ children.
