A special thanks to The Dutch, and in particular, Melanie Plag, who has been a great inspiration to  the Victorian storytellers, encouraging us to share stories, not just locally but globally via videos and Skype on World Storytelling Day. Last year Storytelling Victoria held its first gathering for WSD and as a result, decided that this was an event to be celebrated annually.

This symbol is now used all around  the world  and  you can use it too but please acknowledge Mats as the creator. A gift from a Swedish storyteller to us all. You can download it HERE
