Registration Required for each workshop with the facility hosting it (link below)
A CULTURE DAYS workshop for those wishing to share their lived experience, their culture, and/or their family stories through an oral narrative.
Participants will learn simple oral storytelling techniques to shape their life lessons into engaging, culture-rich narratives.
Culture is a lived experience transmitted through the elders and absorbed by the young. In Passing the Stories Forward, Storytelling Alberta offers an oral storytelling initiative designed to celebrate Alberta’s cultural diversity and strengthen the "social glue" of our communities. This workshop provides a welcoming space for seniors to validate their personal histories and transform family memories into a "Living Archive" that strengthens our collective civic fabric.
Join us to share your unique voice and help preserve the rich culture and identity of the Edmonton area!

With a background in theatre and education, Bethany has been telling tales for longer than she has not. In 1969, for one whole week, she convinced her neighbours that she was twins (boy and girl) but today she tells in more appropriate venues such as libraries, festivals and thrice in a graveyard full of wild strawberries.
