What we do?
FEST connects storytellers across Europe and beyond, supports training and professional development, encourages artistic mobility and collaboration, and promotes storytelling in fields such as culture, education, community work, and heritage. Through festivals, workshops, conferences, and international projects, FEST strengthens the visibility, quality, and impact of storytelling across borders.
