Emerson College - School of Storytelling

A storyteller is more than a teller of tales. Storytellers are entertainers, teachers and healers with a long spiritual tradition. To be true to this tradition requires ongoing renewal and inspiration.
The School of Storytelling, founded in 1994, is the longest running centre of its kind where the craft of the storyteller is practiced and honoured. Here stories come alive and serve performers, healers, teachers, the business world, the environment and the wider community.
We offer a wide range of courses from weekends to full-time programmes.
Whether an experienced teller or a beginner to the art, everyone is welcome here.

Welcome to the Scottish Storytelling Centre and Network, the home of Scotland's stories. The Centre is the ideal place to discover live oral storytelling.

Make it the first port of call if you want to nurture your own storytelling skills, develop a community storytelling project or find out how to work with a storyteller.

Storytellers of Ireland

The ancient art of the Seanchaí, the storyteller of the past, has experienced a revival in the last 20 years. People of all ages and backgrounds have begun to retell stories old and new, for which Ireland is famed throughout the world.

Le fiche bliain anuas, tá borradh agus fás tagaithe ar shean-ghairm inste scéal. Tá clú agus cáil ar na scéalta ársa agus ar an seanchas atá le fáil i nÉirinn. Le déanaí tá siad arís i mbéal an phobail, idir óg is sean, is i ngach áird is aicme.
