Welcome!
World Storytelling Day is a global celebration of the art of oral storytelling. It is celebrated every year on the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, the first day of autumn equinox in the southern. On World Storytelling Day, as many people as possible tell and listen to stories in as many languages and at as many places as possible, during the same day and night. Participants tell each other about their events in order to share stories and inspiration, to learn from each other and create international contacts.

How do you host an event?
| Easy! Your local storytelling group, festival, committee, or even an individual storyteller, can simply plan an event for March 20th, and promote it as part of World Storytelling Day. The theme for 2008 is "DREAMS." Dream big, and let everyone know about your plans! To subscribe to the WSD email discussion list, send a message to: storytellingday-subscribe@pytte.net. You can download the WSD logo for use to help promote for your event. Find the logo by following the link under Links. It can be used free for WSD events, (just give thanks to Mats Rehnman for the design). Thanks Mats! Let people know about your event by posting information here on the World Storytelling Forum or by emailing some information to the webmaster at storytelling@nf.sympatico.ca for inclusion on the Events & Activities page. |
