World Storytelling Day

World Storytelling Day is a global celebration of the art of oral storytelling. It is celebrated every year on the March equinox, on March 20. 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 to Celebrate?

• Participate in your local storytelling event.

• If there is none near you, maybe organize your own event?

• Have an older person tell you a story from their childhood.

• Encourage the children in your life to tell stories.
