Are you ready to dive into the world of imagination and creativity? Join us at the British Council Karachi library as we celebrate the work of children literature’s most popular author, Roald Dahl, through a storytelling and creative writing workshop.
We will be reading Roald Dahl’s beloved classic, The BFG - a whimsical tale about a gentle giant who befriends a young girl and together they embark on a daring adventure. This will be followed by a series of interactive activities focused on the creative process of characterization and story development. These activities are designed to provide insights into effective storytelling techniques and foster a love for writing.
