So how did IATEFL 2022 Belfast go? Wonderfully, but I’ll get to that in the future.
Since David Heathfield, Haneen Khaled and myself were interviewed for IATEFL TV we got permission to turn it into one of our Cornucopia of Tales and Tellers podcasts.
Below you can give a listen to what the event was, some tales locally and what the Hands Up Project is.

Storytellers Debate – To Change or Update Tales? – A Cornucopia Of Tales and Tellers
This week we have not one, not two, but six storytellers and/or storytelling teachers online to discuss a point we raised in our last episode – should we change, edit or update our tales to fit with the current zeitgeist or feeling of the times?
Alan and Simona were very pleased to be joined by Enedina Sanna, David Heathfield, Manuela Kelly and Jackie Ross to discuss storytelling, tradition, mythology and what we would or wouldn't tell. Enjoy.

A Cornucopia of Tales and Tellers is a passion project brought to you by English teachers Alan and Simona, who want to create a compilation – or cornucopia if you will – of stories from all around the world and by as many tellers from around the world as possible. So grab a cup of tea, chai, water or uisce beatha, relax and enjoy hearing tales that have been handed down generations, or even ones that were dreamt up yesterday! Music by Purple Planet.
