My Stories, My Terms – Workshop for the Refugees in Berlin

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Location: Oranienstr. 58 a
Time: Sunday, 17Th of April, 10 – 18 h
This workshop aims to develop individual stories shared by refugees in Berlin coming from different backgrounds and having a wide range of experiences. The goal is to initiate an autonomous experience in storytelling where the author is not dependent on media to translate his journey but has the complete control over his past memories and current challenges.
‘My stories, my terms’ gives the lead to the refugees/authors to write, design and share their own stories, eliminating any sort of agenda, exploitation or external influence.
