Inspired by the folktales her grandmother told her as a child, Seung Ah tells Korean folk stories in a dynamic and interactive way that engages audiences of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Storytelling has been developed since the beginning of humanity as a powerful and versatile communication technique, particularly for educating, inspiring action, and sharing cultures, through emotions
and heart-to-heart connections. As a pioneer Korean professional storyteller, I have travelled across all the continents to bring Korea to the world through my stories and tales, and I have developed “K-STORYTELLING” as a new facet of Korea’s nation branding. The K-Storytelling World Tour
Based on my experience, skills and passion, I have now decided to undertake a one-year world tour, with three main objectives:
• To share the Korean culture to a wide global audience,
• To raise interest in Korea as a tourism destination,
• To build an international network of storytellers willing to share their stories in Korea. This world tour will include various performances, workshops, and events focused on Korea, its culture and its people, extraordinary and ordinary heroes.
“One million heroes”: a real-life story
To make my dream true, I am relying on a committed project team in Korea and many local partners across the world. Now, I now would like to invite you to be part of this exciting adventure, as individual donor or corporate sponsors. If we can raise enough funds, we will be able to establish a K-Storytelling Center in Seoul, open to all our supporters.
