eight storytelling chapters arranged as open events, about once a month. We asked for donations of £10 for employed, £5 non-salaried, free entrance to unemployed. Donations to a children’s charity (Act for Change)
We hope to continue in 2019

Storytelling has a beginning inside and outside. One needs to have a narrative that belongs to her cultural traditions, a people with a history and a voice. One needs a person who is the author of her own story, a map of a place she belongs to, someone who has a self that is free from another’s definition of what and who she is. How does one make sense of a self or the world when stories of different races and cultures made them strangers.
Storytelling in the context of church’s work “on healing history”
