| What we do |
|
Through its partnership with the Scottish Storytelling Forum, the Centre supports a national Network of storytellers involved in outreach projects with local authorities, environmental agencies, community centres and libraries, engaging with all age groups and diverse cultures of modern Scotland and providing opportunities for the socially and educationally excluded to take part in community-based, inclusive cultural experiences. As the headquarters of the Network, the Centre strives to reinforce Scotland's vigorous contribution to a worldwide revival of interest in storytelling and storytelling traditions.

| What is storytelling? |
Stories are everywhere around us in newspapers, books, on TV and on the Web. But storytelling happens when the story is told person to person, live, without print or technology. Storytelling is a unique human skill and is one of our oldest artforms. We believe storytelling is for everyone.
The Scottish Storytelling Centre is a partnership between the Church of Scotland and the Scottish Storytelling Forum, financially supported by these partners and by the Scottish Arts Council Lottery Fund, the City of Edinburgh Council, Scottish Enterprise Edinburgh and Lothian, and a wide range of charitable donations. |
