“Set your Story free”...
“Once upon a time a group of valiant people coming from various lands very very far away met on the green hill of Buda, in the land of the Magyars. Although they didn’t look alike, they spoke different languages and had different cultures they had one common mission: to find the oldest Story ever told…”

This is where our journey begins, if you want to be part of this marvelous expedition join us in Budapest from 30.4. to 6.5.2017 for the international training course “Set your Story free”

Storytelling has a great intercultural value, indeed the experience of sharing stories with others bonds and unites communities and cultures, furthermore telling stories can also have a profound impact on the storytellers themselves – it is in the telling that we are able to interrogate and deepen our understanding of our experiences and assumptions about the world we live and work in, and also about ourselves. Sharing meaningful stories can enable this enriching connection, where people can really share who they are not taking into account where they come from, age, gender or financial, educational circumstances. Storytelling as a tool used smart, can be a leading frame for conversations and sharings.
