'They waited'..... oral storytelling
Wednesday 21 October 2026
7:20 pm 9:00 pm AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)

Free Online Oral Storytelling Event

They waited… for a sign, a stranger, a ship, a miracle.
Some waited patiently. Others had no choice. Some waited far too long. And some discovered that what they were waiting for had been waiting for them all along.

Join us for a collection of folktales, fairy tales, historical stories, personal stories, and creative fantasies, where every story must include the words: “They waited…” “He waited…” or “She waited…”
But what were they waiting for? And what happened when the waiting was finally over?
The stories are told, not read.

This is a free online event organised by the Australian Storytelling Guild (NSW). Come as a listener or teller. All welcome.

Free Online Oral Storytelling Event

"You can do it!" Four simple words that have inspired heroes, comforted friends, encouraged dreamers, and given courage to the timid for generations.

Join us for an uplifting evening of stories celebrating determination, resilience, and the power of encouragement. Through traditional folktales, timeless legends, personal experiences, and contemporary creative tales, storytellers may share journeys of ordinary people and extraordinary characters who faced daunting challenges and discovered that they could indeed succeed.

Every story will include the words "You can do it!"—whether whispered by a wise elder, shouted by loyal companions, spoken as a promise to oneself, or offered as a lifeline in a moment of doubt.

Come and laugh, reflect, and be inspired by stories that remind us that, whatever the obstacle, a little courage and a few encouraging words can make all the difference.
Because sometimes, the most powerful thing anyone can hear is: "You can do it!"
The stories are told, not read.
