Community Works

Connecting with Love and Care

Stories and the art of storytelling help us to connect with each other on a deeper level. That is why storytelling work in communities can be so helpful. Up to now, I was involved in storytelling projects where I worked with pre-school, primary and secondary school children in schools, libraries, museums and exhibitions. I worked with university students in international cultural exchange storytelling projects and also in other community projects where I introduced storytelling to women living at politically conflicted borders, homeless people, LQBTQIA+ people, refugees and prisoners.

Here are some selected community projects where I worked as a storyteller or a story coach:

Senem is a very self reflective and aware person, embracing her own qualities and weaknesses as a complete. Above all, she is a very funny person, which makes it really fun and easy to work with her. I feel so lucky and grateful to have Senem as a creative partner and look forward to our future projects.

Senem creates a safe atmosphere to explore even the most difficult questions, knots and seemingly impossible problems in order to achieve a sense of collective empowerment and compassion. Her passion inspires people to move, to play, to dance, to sing, to rise and to come into their full power.

Senem was really great. Her easy manner and smile made everyone feel comfortable from the start. Her technique, telling stories through the use of toys, brought the best out of everyone and allowed her class to enter a creative child like state without ego or pretence. This is not an easy task to carry out with a group who have pressing, non-fictional issues waiting for them outside the classroom door!
