FEST Virtual Conference 2020

24 - 26 June 2020

Unfortunately the FEST 2020 Conference in Bursa was cancelled because of the COVID-19 outbreak and the national measures taken to fight this virus.
FEST would like to thank SEIBA International Storytelling Center for all the hard work they put in the preparation of the 2020 conference.

We can't meet in person but that doesn't mean we can't meet at all, that is why FEST decided to take our yearly international conference for oral storytelling online.

The 2020 FEST VIRTUAL Conference is a place for storytellers and organisations to meet, exchange and share knowledge and experiences on different themes that touch the oral storytelling community. We will organise 6 online fora on different subjects concerning the oral storytelling scene in Europe.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn all about the FEST projects and objectives and prepare the future.
