Abstract
This chapter discusses the revival of the ancient art of storytelling as a teaching tool, showing how it can be used to teach values and to promote learning for teachers and educators with students of all ages and abilities. Stories are better able to illustrate principles and values than other approaches and will therefore have a greater impact on learning. A case study is examined, methodologies are explained and examples of stories the reader can use with students are provided.
