'Stories of Joy'

'Stories of Joy' - Story Swap

• Wednesday, 21 January 2026

• 7.20-9.00 pm  AEDT Sydney time

• Story Swap via Zoom hosted by Australian Storytellers NSW

Free Online Oral Storytelling Event 

Join us for a storytelling time filled with laughter, lightness, and shared delight. Stories of Joy brings together tellers and listeners to celebrate the moments that make us smile — silly, surprising, tender, and true. 

The stories may be folktales about joy found in friendship, music, and second chances. 

They may be moments, events, or things that bring us personal joy in life, such as a time when you were laughing unexpectedly with a stranger or old friend, achieving something small but meaningful, singing together, dancing, or making music; finding comfort in nature — a garden, a beach walk, a familiar tree. 

Joy grows as it’s shared. Come and carry away some of the joy with you as we move into a new year.

This is a free online event organised by the Australian Storytelling Guild (NSW). australianstorytellers.org.au/events

Come as a listener or teller. All welcome.
