From August 7th├é┬áthru August 10th, the National Storytelling Conference comes to Gatlinburg Convention Center and according to the NSN, “The National Storytelling Conference (NSC) brings together National Storytelling Network (NSN) members, as well as individuals and organizations from the community, who are interested in the art and application of storytelling. Members and non-members present material appealing to attendees├óΓé¼Γäó variety of interests and developmental needs.├é┬á├é┬á Stories make connections. Through diverse programming, we will explore the connections that storytelling can make between individuals, groups, generations, cultures, classes, and occupations. Through the 2008 conference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, we will honor our storytelling ancestors while making connections to an ever-expanding future for the art.├é┬á”
