Global Lab: Understanding Scotland's Witches
Global Platform Online
(Fri 28 Oct: 2pm Online)
As Scotland comes to terms with the horrors of its witchcraft persecution, how do we now understand the women who were tortured and executed? In this exploration history, empathy, gender, drama and religion are all brought together in the search for a new insight, with the refusal to accept simple answers. Hosted and curated by Jen McGregor with a specially curated lineup of contributors.

An international exploration of oral storytelling and its interaction with tradition, ecological passion, social engagements and contemporary renaissance worldwide. Held in association with The Earth Stories Collection and Earth Charter International. Each session includes presentations, guided discussions and a short interval. Hosted by Festival Director Donald Smith.
Over the past two years we have enjoyed being part of a fantastic online storytelling community across the world. We would love to further connect with you in our digital storytelling and development sessions, so whether you are based in Scotland, or further afield, let’s keep that fire lit on our global platforms.

In Scotland’s Year of Stories, the Scottish International Storytelling Festival: Keep It Lit invites everyone to the ceilidh; locally, nationally and globally. At the core of Scotland’s culture and identity is the hospitable hearth - a place of solidarity and welcome for friend and stranger alike. Round that symbolic fire, experiences and memories are shared and hope affirmed.
