| Description |
In Lithuania, in recent decades, storytelling has been nurtured by folklore enthusiasts and individual storytellers at various traditional cultural events.
For a long time, storytelling has been little known to the public and was usually considered only as part of folk storytellers’ performances sharing tales and stories in various dialects.
Now the situation in the country is changing as more and more NGOs, state institutions, and individual storytellers are involved in a wider scope of storytelling projects and activities, including various social and cultural aspects of today’s life. Not only specialized festivals and initiatives are focused on storytelling. Some other thematic initiatives also tend to include storytelling as a tool or method used to develop creative competencies in attractive, interactive ways.
In this article, some Lithuanian storytelling initiative examples are revealed. They cover the period from 1990 to today. |
