Telling Tales
Telling Tales is a unique program that connects students with our planet through the magic of storytelling, hands-on discovery, and outdoor adventures.
Our program sparks a sense of wonder about the natural world. By weaving engaging stories into outdoor experiences, we help students form deep, lasting connections with nature in a fun and educational way.
The program’s curriculum is as beautifully simple as it is restorative, connecting young people to the natural world in a fun and safe way.
A space for young people to explore, to ask questions, a space to nurture
imagination, and a space to embark on exciting journeys.
Africa has a vibrant theme of storytelling. The myths, legends, folktales and fables whisk you away from mountain caves to treetops, the land to the open seas.
On Yuniya, we rediscover, reimagine and retell the stories of African mythological creatures and legends.
Our unique multimedia approach transforms storytelling into a dynamic experience. Children on Yuniya don't just hear these tales; they actively explore and experience carefully selected African mythologies through captivating narratives.
With interactive elements, we bring these tales to life, creating an immersive learning experience that goes beyond traditional storytelling.
