Nature Town is a diverse place and all of its residents are very different. It's a boiling pot of different nationalities, cultures and traditions.

These school friends have one thing in common: a passion for nature and the environment.

Join our eco-warriors as they tackle environmental issues head-on to help make Nature Town a better place to live.

Storybook

Why learn through storytelling?

Using storytelling as a mechanism in teaching involves structuring learning around a narrative.

It helps children (and adults) make sense of issues and topics by engaging them in a story, making facts easier to remember and participants more open to learning.

The benefits of learning through storytelling does not stop at increasing knowledge of the subject area - storytelling encourages creativity, expands vocabulary, increases attention span and helps to reinforce morals.
