World Storytelling Day 20 March 2010

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 20 March, and promote it as part of World Storytelling Day. The theme for 2010 is ‘Light and Shadow’. Dream big, and let everyone know about your plans!
