What is Storytelling?

Storytelling is an ancient art, the primeval art, the basis of all communication, imagination and creativity. It has strong bonds with literature, with popular/folk culture, with heritage. It is a homage to the mother tongue, to foreign languages, to the intercultural dialogue.

Narratives are everywhere, in many artistic and socio-cultural sectors the words storytelling and narratives pop up.

All have ‘a story to tell’. In this respect oral storytelling as ‘the master of narratives’ has a lot to offer to these media and sectors, and they, in return, offer new carriers and interfaces for storytellers.

FEST is working on a collection of storytelling references in form of articles, multimedia, books and useful links.
