I intended to discuss the need for community storytelling. The objective of community storytelling is to build up and strengthen local culture community. This community storytelling can help local residents discover their common concern and value and solve the problems which the local community is facing. To perform and enjoy of community storytelling, storyteller needs lots of story resource. Life history could be a good story resource for community storytelling. That is more adequate to community storytelling than tale that has been passed on orally or information of the local history. The project of Story Books by Seongnam Culture Foundation was planned to collect and organize life history which was dictated by local residents. Five volumes of Story Book are published through the project. Those can help local residents write down and restore their passing life. However Publishing Story Book is not sufficient to spread enjoying community storytelling. Story community is needed to help local people perform of storytelling in everyday life. There could be two different forms of story communities. One is face to face community, and the other is on-line community. People in story community discover story resource, make seed stories, and share and spread it. By doing so, local culture community could be built up and strengthened. Moreover it can bring side effect of literature expansion.
