8th Annual National Storytelling Week
26th January – 2nd February 2008

National Storytelling Week 2008 (our 8th) is looking to be as exciting as
2007!  Enquiries are pouring in from people all around the country, asking
how they can get involved - from Schools to Museums, Storytelling Clubs to
HM Prisons! 

During National Storytelling Week 2007 over 1,040 nationwide storytelling
events and performances were organised, including The V &A, North Tyneside
Disability Forum and Lakeside Shopping Centre and Rockingham Castle, Leics.,
Storytelling Clubs, smaller individual events and over 780 schools

We know that Storytelling stretches from its simplest application in the
nursery right through to personal stories and bereavement aids in hospitals,
strengthening communication in the business sphere, and as an aid to
learning in education. 

Storytelling is not just for the young but for all ages who share the
creations of thought and the creativity of imagination. 

We encourage participation from all areas of the community.  Within the
Society there are diverse Special Interest groups.  The Museums and Heritage
special interest group aims to give support and advice to anyone interested
in hearing or telling stories in a historical setting, or alongside
artefacts from the past.

Storytelling in museums, galleries and historic buildings, really brings
history alive! Contact for this group:  Maureen James e mail:

So join us!  For the word is out and there is a store of stories to be told!


The Society has a printed guide on how to take part in National Storytelling
Week, available on request by phone or email.  Contact us to find out how to
get involved. See the website www.sfs.org.uk for details
