Nivedita Sinha.

Nivedita has earned a UG degree in Geography and a Masters degree in Sociology.

 

She has always believed in innovative methods of teaching, which encouraged her to undertake a course in Montessori. Spending time with children and engaging them in different activities gave her happiness, which motivated her to pursue storytelling to connect with children.  

 

Nivedita's storytelling journey started in earnest during the uncertainty and chaos of Covid-19. She found solace and purpose in the art of storytelling. During this time, she took training under SEAC (Storytelling Education and Art India Council) and then from Kathalaya.

 

The process caused Nivedita to explore various sides of herself. She learned to not only present stories in interesting ways, but also was motivated to weave stories and to pen them.

 

She has participated in Jharkhand Storytelling Festival 2021 and 2022, Katha Karvan, Kathapotporri, the Rasoi Ke Rahasya podcast, and presented in StoryCircle Edu Sarthi through Facebook Live.

 

Nivedita leads storytelling sessions at home for children. Her favourite story genres are mythology and folklore. She enjoys using stories for healing and humour. She believes story has power to heal, entertain, enhance understanding and create interest in the subject. Storytelling benefits the audience as well as the storyteller. While amongst audience members it develops knowledge, understanding, and interest, it also enhances the confidence level of the storyteller.
