Storytelling Online
You might already know the old Scottish saying:" A story should be told eye to eye, mind to mind and heart to heart", but these difficult days call for an addition to the saying "computer to computer". We would love be meeting and swapping stories in person, holding workshops and of course, hosting our International Conference but alas it is not possible, so we have decided to go online with our storytelling.
As well as Storytellers NSW online, there are many other virtual storytelling events worldwide and we've added just a few of them to the newsletter.
The Storytellers NSW Committee hopes all our members are well and that you'll join us in one of our virtual storytelling events soon.
