The ACT Storytellers Guild Inc seeks to encourage and promote storytelling as an integral part of community life eg. in schools, clubs and hostels for the aged.

As opportunities offer we try to encourage people of all ages and walks of life to tell stories and develop their skills as storytellers.

We have practice sessions, story sessions, occasional workshops and attend festivals and conferences. We produce handouts and booklists usually in association with such workshops. Experienced tellers can assist newcomers at these meetings with helpful guidance if needed.

We have a formal but flexible accreditation process.

Individual storytellers provide storytelling services in the community. Details of programs and conditions are a matter for individual storytellers and should be obtained direct from them. (see directory).
