(Sat 10 Oct: 6pm) An interactive online introduction to live storytelling and the associated skills. Professional storyteller Franziska Droll leads this participatory session for anyone curious about discovering and developing their own storytelling talent. Let out your inner storyteller and learn to craft your skills! For new and aspiring storytellers, this session will take place live online. Presented by the Scottish Storytelling Forum. Franziska Droll grew up in the Black Forest, Germany, and later made Scotland her home after falling in love with its stories and people. She has been a storyteller her whole life, but training with the Scottish Storytelling Forum allowed her to turn this passion into a professional craft. Franziska’s stories connect people through humour, warmth, and imagination—each performance unique, engaging, and full of heart – creating bridges between cultures and generations.
