The International
Storytelling Center opened in Jonesborough. The Center represents a $10 million
investment of grants, loans and private contributions and includes a massive library,
large conference room, storytelling parlors, a gift shop, information center, education
and interpretation center and a 100 seat theater (still under construction.) Jimmy
Neil Smith, president of the International Storytelling Center, called the opening
of the center "just the beginning." He called the center the "cornerstone
of an effort to use the power of storytelling as a tool for positive change worldwide."
Smith cited just a few of the goals: Improving the education of children through
stories. Enhancing leadership and management. Creating more nurturing environments
for health and healing. Promoting peace and understanding. Saving our history, traditions
and culture.
There is a huge display in the foyer of photos and quotes from former
featured storytellers at the National Festival.
