Connect during our

Storytelling Events.

We are proud to have shared the stories of people from across the world who reflect their journey as a migrant and traveller with the public.

 
 

We believe, like so many, that storytelling is the shortest distance between two people, a stepping stone towards a thriving multicultural community.

Stories connects us on a deeper level as we share experiences, hopes, challenges and ideas how to celebrate diversity. We want to harness all these stories to empower everyday storytellers to spark dialogue between groups who otherwise would not meet and co-create new solutions to celebrate our heritage.

We believe we are all migrants be it fleeing our country due to war, moving to a new country for a job, studying abroad, going for your annual holiday, or simply commuting between cities in your own country for better work or study opportunities.

Migrants are not ‘them’, but all of ‘us’. Thankfully the vast majority of us can leave and return to our homes freely – both temporarily and permanently. It is therefore particularly important that we provide extra support and understanding for the 0.3% of the world population, asylum seekers and refugees, people who never asked to leave their country.

Integration of newcomers is a two-way street where both locals and newcomers need a platform to connect and share their personal experiences.
