[cma-l] Tenth annual National Storytelling Week

[Tamar Millen]

Tenth annual National Storytelling Week

dates - 30 January to 6 February 2010

Last year National Storytelling Week reached 16,000 people of various 
ages with storytelling events and performances in schools, arts centres, 
libraries, theatres, museums, pubs, bookshops, storytelling clubs, 
retirement homes and prisons! This years event will take place from 30 
January to 6 February 2010.

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. In its sharing between teller and listener it 
gives and receives time, it empowers, it creates and feeds the 
imagination from one generation to the next.

The Society for Storytelling Guide to National Storytelling Week is 
available on request. Contact Del Reid, NSW Coordinator, on 020 8866 
4232 or by email at reidthewords at hotmail.com.
