Wendy Shearer delivers inspiring and engaging Keynote talks with performances across the UK on the topics of:
- Bringing the joy of stories and reading to life.
- The importance of oral storytelling
- Creating positive and diverse narratives.
“Wendy Shearer was the inspirational keynote speaker at the Story Exchange Symposium in July 2025. Her talk reinforced the importance of stories for all of us—how they build emotional literacy, strengthen connection, and keep the oral tradition alive in meaningful ways both for students and for the wider learning community.
Wendy’s presence, insight, and skill have left a lasting impact. We are so grateful for the inspiration she brought to our team and to the teachers involved in The Story Exchange Project.“
