Schoolswork.co.uk have organised a set of training days around the country looking at the area of story telling. Looks really useful. As their blurb says:

Imagine you’re taking a school assembly, or a lesson, or just talking to a bunch of young people. It’s hard to get very far without telling a story. Maybe it’s the day you got stuck in a lift and realised you believed in God; the drama of Mother Teresa’s life or your favourite tale of the day potatoes took over the world. Stories are the way we communicate and you can’t work with children or teenagers without telling a lot of them. So why are they so hard to tell well? Storytelling is a skill, something to be practised and developed. That’s why, in June and July 2008, we’re holding a series of creative training days: to inspire and equip Christian schools and youth workers to tell bigger, brighter and better stories that communicate the biggest story of all. 

All the information, dates and costs are currently to be found here.
