World Storytelling Day
Wise Fools - A Celebration of Story & Poetry on World Storytelling Day
World Storytelling Day promotes oral storytelling, by inspiring people all over the world to organize events each year the week after March Equinox.
The goal is to have as many people tell and listen to stories at as many places and in as many languages as possible. Each year a theme is chosen which participants may choose as inspiration for stories. This year the theme is "Wise Fools".
To mark World Storytelling Day, this event brings together three poets and three storytellers to tell stories and poems based on the theme “Wise Fools”.
