FEST Conference 2026

Ratatosk – How to carry a message with storytelling?

The Federation for European Storytelling (FEST) and Berättarnätet Öst (BNÖ) in Sweden are delighted to invite the international storytelling community to the 2026 FEST conference in Stockholm. BNÖ is organizing the conference in collaboration with ALBA Sverige, Fabula Storytelling, Vargkatten produktion and Musikteater Unna.

As usual there will be exciting workshops, stunning performances, discussions and friendship. But in Stockholm we will also celebrate the mythical swedish midsummer and we will invite you all to a Viking feast. The conference will be held at a small castle in the center of Stockholm where a real queen has lived. And of course, there will be swedish fika and lingonberry jam. Under the theme of ”Ratatosk – How to carry a message with storytelling?” we hope you all will come to Stockholm and explore new and curious ways of doing our favorite business, storytelling.
