Village of Storytellers is a project run out of Storytelling Toronto, a not for profit arts organization of volunteers. The project involves groups of residents meeting once a week over a period of time with professional storytellers to listen and share personal and traditional stories told aloud. Most participants move on to perform as storytellers at local events and the Toronto Storytelling Festival.
The Village of Storytellers Project grew from the expertise, enthusiasm and commitment of hundreds of Regent Park residents, neighbourhood leaders, professional storytellers, volunteers and community staff.
