News and Events

Our Emerging Storyteller Scholarship was established in 2015. We offer four months’ mentoring for an emerging storyteller, by an accomplished teller, plus complimentary admission to our upcoming conference and one-year membership to SC-CC. To celebrate the award, the recipient/s are invited to perform at one of the conference events.

Storytellers of Canada – Conteurs du Canada is seeking proposals from experienced professional storytellers for the next SC-CC conference, which will be held in Halifax Nova Scotia from June 18 - 22, 2025 at Saint Mary's University. We are looking for artists to perform in two evening concerts and to deliver Master classes and/or workshops reflecting the diversity inherent to oral tradition. 

We will also be offering a virtual conference package that includes access to live-streamed concerts, presentations, and a selection of online-only workshops.

The conference theme for 2025 is 'Roots and Branches: celebrating shared heritage and cultural linkages old and new.'  For the concerts, we will be looking for story proposals that illustrate our connections, our shared pasts and our common futures.

SAVE THE DATE! 

We’re excited to announce that the next SC-CC Conference will be in Halifax from June 18-22, 2025!

Conference registration opens early in 2025.
