June 10 – 18, 2022 Training Course: We are all storytellers
This week, we are hosting the Training Course: We are all storyteller, an EU funded project through the Erasmus Plus Programme. We welcomed 21 participants from Bulgaria, Italy, Morocco, Yemen, Iraq, Tunisia, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and Romania.
During the training, I facilitated a session on storytelling through the technique of letter. I read a letter from a migrant to her mom describing the journey and the hardship she encountered once arrived in the host country. During the debrief, the participants shared that this story is happening every day and everywhere. The participants also shared their thoughts around the own migration journey. During the second part of the session, the participants wrote a letter based on a picture assigned to their group. Each group wrote an emotional and inspirational letter incorporating their own experiences.
A special feature of the training was the intercultural nights in which the participants shared about the culture and customs of their country. During the intercultural nights, we are transported into the countries around the world and have the opportunity to experience the hospitality and the warmth of the people and the places.
