The Digital Festival of Storytelling will be a free weeklong online programme from a vibrant variety of storytellers, talks and workshops from Monday, 6 February until Sunday, 12 February.  The programme will be complemented by a toolkit of video tips from our storytellers to help you put together your own stories in creative and imaginative ways.
