What is it like to talk ideas? Why are humans conscious, do animals have rights, does religion have any point, is/ was Scotland an enlightened society, is science only about facts? Is philosophy about stating our beliefs or exploring new ground through dialogue with others? Come to the philosophy café to find out.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
