Storytelling is an umbrella title which, when opened, can unleash traits, interests and skills that most pupils have not discovered in themselves. Teachers who use storytelling techniques simply provide an outlet to expression and language use. The focus will be on how to use the storytelling technique in class to give students the chance to be deeply involved in using the language and savor the benefits of social interaction. The Storytelling tool helps open minds and hearts to story messages, brings connection and paves the way to presentation skills

Gamification in Education: The Sklia Challenge Cup Model: The Sklia Challenge Cup is a year-long, team-based learning initiative designed to boost student motivation through friendly competition and collaboration. By dividing classes into two teams, students earn points through games, revision activities, tests, and positive participation. The system rewards both effort, achievement and soft skills, transforming everyday learning into an engaging and dynamic experience. This presentation explores how gamification can foster enthusiasm, teamwork, and consistent academic progress and personal development in the classroom.
