Storytelling has been the spine of African heritage for as long as Oral Tradition has had a voice. The passing down, through Storytelling, of knowledge, wisdom, and experiences from one generation to the next has been a way of preserving and advancing culture. It has also been a creation of a safe space for communities to tell their stories and lived experiences openly for the entertainment and education of the collective. This is the prime charge of Hadithiya Africa.
In its second year, the annual USC challenges storytellers to inspire audiences through their experiences. Storytellers will be trained in the art of storytelling to give you maximum impact while entertaining you with their adventures, steps and mishaps. Prepare to walk away feeling connected and some new perspectives about your own journey.
Contestants: USC is open to all African storytellers from within the African continent.
Prize: $1000 USD
