ABOUT OUR THEME: “STORYTELLER, STORY WORKER” is the theme for Sharing the Fire 2020.
As storytellers, we can be so much more than just performing artists – we can be proactively, consciously, intentionally making a difference. Where and how is this work being done? Who is doing it? What is being accomplished? Where do you fit in as a storyteller and a story worker?

You may submit workshops on any topic that would benefit storytellers from beginning through advanced levels. This year we are particularly interested in workshops related to the following:

life; family stories; immigration stories; interfaith telling)
- Environment & Current Issues
- Hands-on (active) workshops especially for advanced tellers
- Storytelling & the Arts
