Invitation to the FEST conference
The European Federation for Story Telling
(FEST) is an organisation primarily for organisations to strengthen alliances,
share knowledge of all kinds around storytelling and arts practice. Jackie
Kerin represented Storytelling Australia Victoria in 2013. That year, the other
nonEuropean countries represented included Canada, Singapore, Iran and the US.
Individuals do attend on their own bat but the big picture is to encourage
organisations to send reps so that ideas around storytelling are shared beyond
a single practice.
Here is a video from the 2013 Conference. You will see some familiar faces.
LOCATION: KEA Island, Greece, 19 – 22 July 2015
FEST and Mythos, the Centre for the Study
and Dissemination of Myths and Folktales, would like to invite you to take part
in the FEST conference 2015. This year it will take place on the Greek island
KEA, one of the Cyclades. Yet again it will be a great opportunity to meet and
learn from storyteller associations, festival organisers, storytellers and all
kinds of organisations from Europe and from the rest of the world dealing with
the beautiful art of storytelling.
The FEST programme will consist of:
- Discussions and exchange through interest groups
- Presentation of projects
- FEST Film festival (evening of short films about storytelling)
- Guest speakers
- Structural development of FEST (Council meeting)
- Time for networking
