LEADING UP TO THE CONFERENCE

March 2024, FEAST marked a new chapter in its history by signing a joint Memorandum of Understanding with the Suwon Convention Center (in Suwon, South Korea) and the Korean International Storytellers Association. This is a strong declaration of intent to collaborate by all three organisations centred around Suwon's annual children's book fair (BOOKIZCON) to foster cultural exchange and participation by storytellers. This initial agreement is for two years, but we hope that success in supporting Bookizcon this year (with workshops and performances) we will open the door to an annual opportunity for some members to perform there in future.

The signing ceremony was the highlight of a visit by Director Roger Jenkins who also visited the Convention Center to view the venues for our Conference sessions. On the 17th he conducted a workshop on Storytelling Strategies in English Language Teaching, with significant help from KISA President, Alicia Dong Bang-Joo. Together they told bilingually a tandem version of the quarrelling siblings story about Building a Bridge (instead of a wall) which suited both the ocassion and the theme of this month's World storytelling Day! An audience of 40 KISA members, expatriate professors from a local university and some budding middle-school tellers were hopefully inspired to attend our September Conference.
