35 Nigerians selected for filmmaker's ‘Story story’ masterclass

The project facilitators received hundreds of applications from across the country for this storytelling workshop.

Ihidero has also been a newspaper columnist for 10 years, writing for The Guardian, NET and TNS.

35 participants have been chosen to be part of undefinedseries. After a four weeks screening, the list of participants was made public today.

“We always knew that there was a need for capacity building in storytelling but it was nonetheless intriguing to see that the workshop was three times oversubscribed", said founder and lead facilitator Chris Ihidero.

"I think we are on to something here and it will be a real pleasure to engage these participants over the course of the next three days”, he added.

‘Story Story’ seeks to train attendants in story telling.
