3.-5.
September 2015 in Hamburg
First
international conference by Tellers without Borders
A
story to tell – a heart to listen
Storytelling
in engaging with refugees
The
conference languages are English and German
We have not experienced a human migration of such
enormity, as a result of war and poverty, since the end of World War II. Those who have managed to reach Europe are
now in need and are deserving of much care.
Many of us are moved by their plight and are trying to help. So, what can we do as storytellers? How can we offer support to those who have
left their homes, often in traumatic circumstances. How can we act, in good faith and with a
sense of heart-felt responsibility to ease and support their passage of
transition?
Storytelling,
lectures, workshops, exchange of experiences and ideas.
