IC National Conference 2022 (Halifax)  Call for Proposals  Storytelling:
Making People Care Since...Forever


It’s difficult (if not impossible) to separate the human experience from
storytelling. We seem to have a fundamental need to connect with each other
and ourselves through the sharing of stories. They are the tool we use to
make sense of our lives, experiences, events in history and the world
around us. Stories, like interpretation itself, help us make meaning of the
world.

Interpretation Canada’s 2022 National Conference (Halifax) explores the
connection between interpretation and storytelling through presentation and
discussions on this broad theme.

We are looking for diverse and dynamic presenters to help us explore the
topic, offer case studies, share research findings, or challenge us to
experience new ways of perceiving the science and art of storytelling. *Find
