Seanchoíche (pronounced Shanna-Key-Huh) is super excited to be going to Wander Wild Festival (Ireland’s great outdoors festival) on 4th April in St. Mary’s Church, Killarney.
The theme for this event will be ‘ADVENTURE’ and all stories told will revolve around this theme. Storytelling played such a vital role in Irish culture, and is responsible for preserving and passing down the history, mythology, folklore, and genealogies of Ireland through generations. Seanchoíche is a night for people from all corners, backgrounds, and identities to come together and listen and engage with stories told by volunteer speakers. For some people, it’s their first time ever speaking in front of a crowd and although it might seem daunting at first, Seanchoíche is a safe space, it’s an event filled with empathy, laughter, tears and joy.
'Empathy is remembering that everybody has a story. Multiple stories.' - Kae Tempest
