I am presenting a program currently "Stranger, Guest, Family" that shares the stories told to me from Bosnian Muslim friends during my visit there in 2005. Sharing them around the NW, finding people's hearts touched and perceptions opened. Stories help us to see people, rather than eyeing strangers from a distance.

SHE sounds like a terrific idea. Please keep us posted on the Global Campfire at Jonesborough and subesequent SHE events. We will have to think about doing a Global Campfire in Ohio.

On Saturday Oct. 3, international storytelling will spread its wings and present a new, expanded concept called GLOBAL STORYTELLING. Perhaps this is not "new", but is a recognition of need and use storytelling to enhance cultural understanding through storytelling activities, meetings and conversation. The presentors are tellers who have "been there" and "done that " and will report their perceptions on the use of stories in a variety of ways in communities and countries. We will gather around the Global Campfire to exchange ideas and thoughts. Beginning at 10:00am at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough Tennessee, SHE (Storytelling in Higher Education), will present a panel discussion and demonstration by Connie Regan-Blake, Joseph Sobol, and Hannah Harvey. SHE invites you to share stories of how you have applied storytelling on the international scene.

Greetings fellow travelers,

Since I just became a liaison to the International Tellers Discussion Group of NSN, I was looking around and found y'all. I travel and tell most places I go - China, Guatemala, Ireland, Bali, Mexico, Turkey. I think it would be fun to tell at universities as I travel. Has anyone done that and how has it gone?

Hey International Tellers!!!
Glad to have found you. I have done some touring of England, and small self planned tours around Colorado, USA. I have told in Lisbon, Vienna, Singapore, London and of course around my own country. Lovely to find your nomadic selves, it makes the road less lonely!

Just found the group. Have told on 3 continents and would love to do it again (or even more). If anyone happens to stop in to the Republic of Tejas - I mean, the State of Texas - let me know and we might be able to meet.

G'day everyone ..so nice to be here and what a wonderful find. If I can help anyone heading for New Zealand do please contact me... I'm more than happy to help you wherever i can. Because we are quite isolated down here I've tended to wander back to the U.K./Europe over the years but for a long time I've wanted to perform through the U.S./Canada and I'm making this my goal for 2010. I do have some plans under way and it's still fairly early but you know what it's like putting something together...before you know where you are it's time!! I'm doing as much research and contact as I can and if anyone has any useful contacts or suggestions of maybe festivals/events I shouldn't miss or any other ways to steer me in the right direction I am open to all. Meantime I hope I get a chance to meeting many of you over the coming weeks.
go well
Terry Free
