The USDAC will offer a free training session for Story Circle facilitators and scribes. The training session combines presentations with interactive conversation, learning how to facilitate a Story Circle by doing one. You’ll also learn how to welcome people, manage time and space within the event. By the end of your training, you will be prepared to host and facilitate a Story Circle!

Story Circles are often understood as deriving from indigenous traditions. There are many variations. We give special thanks and credit to John O’Neal of Junebug Productions (and formerly Free Southern Theater) and to Roadside Theater who have been central in developing the practice for use in creating original performance and in community telling and listening projects.
