The SISF Community and Family Programme bookends and runs alongside the main Scottish International Storytelling Festival and is taking place between 5 October – 30 November 2026.

This year, we will pair local storytellers with schools and community groups across Scotland with a varied and enjoyable programme for all.

Take Part in The Big Scottish Story Ripple

Applications are now open.

Community groups and schools can take part in The Big Scottish Story Ripple by holding a storytelling event led by a professional storyteller from our Storytelling Directory.

Groups can apply for a subsidy that will cover the cost of their storyteller’s fees. In return, successful applicants must offer a good deed back to their local community on or before St Andrew’s Day – continuing the ripple of kindness.
