Utah Storytelling Events Email List
|
In-person and virtual opportunities from Utah
|
If you know of any storytelling or story-related events open to the public,
We officially split off the Virtual Storytelling Email List from this original Utah Storytelling Events Email List.
Story Crossroads has many resources besides this free email list. Support us even more and enjoy many benefits including exclusive content and connections (articles, e-workbooks), discounts with businesses, and reduced prices for Story Crossroads offerings like the upcoming Story Crossroads Academy with self-led tuition-based online storytelling courses. A full listing is found at storycrossroads.org/member.
We launched the Story Crossroads Academy, self-led online storytelling courses. Enjoy the free "Storytelling Basics in 8 Hours" with ASL, open captioning, and handouts.
