between 3 – 5 mins in length. Now’s your chance to make your wish come true!

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.

Storytelling Foundation World Storytelling Day committee. Melanie is
holding the Dutch World Storytelling Day banner - the symbol designed
by Mats Rehnman and layered with the Dutch flag. 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
