Megaconference

[Eric Miller <>]

Dear Videoconferencing Friends,

Please consider visiting Darjeeling two weeks from now
for the 3rd Annual Festival of Indigenous Storytellers
(India), http://acoustictraditional.org .

A "Storytelling Workshop Inspired by Tribal Storytelling"
would be led there by WSI Director Dr Eric Miller.
A concept note about the Workshop is at
http://www.storytellinginstitute.org/9.html .

Dr Eric conducted a similar Workshop at last year's
Festival of Indigenous Storytellers (India), in Bangalore.

Educators, please note:

The Festival of Indigenous Storytellers (India) is planning
to offer educational videoconferences with Tribal people,
including possibly Storytelling Workshops led by Tribal people,
with Dr Eric co-facilitating.

Links to recordings of (parts or all of) three videoconferences
Dr Eric has co-facilitated in the past are below. The first is
with a Tribal person (Robin Japanangka Granites, a Warlpiri
Aboriginal Australian person, to be precise).
