believes that learning is a never-ending process and that is why she has so
many certificates and diplomas to her credit. Lipika's storytelling journey began in
the late nineties, when she was training students in public speaking. She
told them stories and asked them to tell stories, and she corrected their
errors and motivated them to speak confidently. Later, as a teacher and resource for
content in school, she incorporated storytelling into the curriculum as as a
pedagogical tool. As a school
supervisor, she has trained the teachers in storytelling, including in making
storytelling props and huge storytelling sets. Lipika tells stories in three languages:
English, Hindi, and Odia. She tells
stories from her culture and from different parts of the world,
personal-experience stories, myths, legends, historical stories, biographies,
and stories that she creates. She holds storytelling workshops in
teacher-training colleges, and tells stories in schools (both government and
private) and libraries, and with NGOs. She has also told stories all across the
globe in many international storytelling swaps, and in storytelling festivals
in India and abroad (in-person and online). Lipika has sharpened her storytelling
skills by attending storytelling workshops of famous storytellers, watching
experienced storytellers’ performances, and observing the nuances of daily
life. A photo is here. Her Youtube channel is here. Contact info Email: lipikamohanty20@gmail.com 95830 81822
