WHO DOESN’T LOVE A GREAT STORY?
World Storytelling Day is a global celebration of the art of storytelling.
It is celebrated every year on the March equinox – March 20th.
On that day, as many people as possible tell and listen to stories in as many languages and at as many places as possible during that day and night.
It all started without much coordination or without much fanfare in the 90’s in Sweden, Australia, Mexico and other Latin American countries. It has grown into a worldwide phenomenon because really, who doesn’t love a great story?
Activities are planned on days around the equinox. Some examples of what can be done:
–Surprise a school with storytellers in the classrooms
– Organize an event at your library
– Combine Storytelling with music and/or dance
– Team up with a restaurant (take a page from Ashford Castle in Ireland where they have a resident storyteller in their restaurant)
– Share stories at a Senior Home
At DARE TO BE CURIOUS,
we chose to invite two of our friends and fellow writers to talk with us about how they tell their stories. Join us and meet New York Times Bestseller and author of over 100 published novels, Patricia Rosemoor and Cheryl Jefferson, award winning TV & film producer and author of both fiction and non-fiction.
The theme of World Storytelling Day 2023 is “TOGETHER WE CAN”
These women can and have – they have amazing stories to tell!
Considering what’s going on worldwide this is an excellent theme choice to help build community and inspire change.
