20 March - World Storytelling Day

 


World Storytelling Day is an annual global celebration of the art of oral storytelling, observed on March 20th each year. It is a day dedicated to promoting the timeless tradition of storytelling, which has been an integral part of cultures worldwide for centuries. The aim of World Storytelling Day is to encourage people to share stories, whether they are traditional tales, personal narratives, or creative works, as a means of fostering understanding, empathy, and connection among individuals and communities.

The celebration of World Storytelling Day often includes various events such as storytelling performances, workshops, festivals, and other activities organized by storytelling enthusiasts, organizations, libraries, schools, and cultural institutions around the world. These events provide opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together, listen to stories, share their own experiences, and celebrate the power of storytelling to inspire, educate, and entertain.

The theme for World Storytelling Day may vary from year to year, but the underlying purpose remains the same: to promote the importance of storytelling as a fundamental aspect of human communication and cultural expression.
