Abstract: The Fifth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'22) was held on the April 10th, 2022, in conjunction with the 44th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2022) in Stavanger, Norway. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions that are still active in some countries, the workshop was held as an hybrid event, combining a "live" in-person and a "virtual" online participation. The online participation was allowed using the Zoom platform. During the course of the day, more than 50 attendees - about 40 in person and 10 in zoom - had the opportunity to follow-up and discuss the recent advances in topics related to representation, extraction, and generation of narratives. The workshop program included two invited keynotes and twelve paper presentations. The proceedings of the workshop are available online at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3117/ Date: 10 April, 2022.
