Storytelling Worldwide in Toastmasters International
Storytelling is in one of the advanced manuals of Toastmasters International.
You have five projects. One involves reading a classical story, which could be a myth, a fairytale, a religious story with a moral. Another Project involves making up a personal story from your own life.
