The OSU StoryBox is on its global journey!
We are excited that the International StoryBox has already visited Switzerland and is now in Ireland, and will be visiting other countries such as Israel, New Zealand, Spain, Australia and Canada.
The National StoryBox will begin its journey in Kentucky next week -- followed by visits in states including Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York.

Project History: For the 2008-2009 school year, Kevin Cordi served as the storyteller artist-in-residence at the Multicultural Center, launching the OSU StoryBox as part of the International Tellabration Week in October 2008. The MCC hosted guest multicultural storytellers Jan-May 2009, who gave workshops for students and staff and community performances. Through the year, 30+ story ambassadors created storyboxes on campus, in Columbus and beyond. All those story ambassadors came together with their boxes to display and stories to tell in June 2009, at OSU's first StoryTelling Festival and Global Launch of the OSU StoryBox. Feel free to stop by the MCC to look at our book of the StoryBox Project and learn more about this amazing project.
