Join us for a heartwarming online storytelling session to brighten up your winter evenings.
The session begins with a short story or excerpt from a book, followed by an opportunity for participants to share their own stories or thoughts inspired by the session’s theme, in small group settings.
Through storytelling with multicultural flavours, we aim to build bridges of understanding, empathy, and community.
Let's explore the power of words to connect us across cultures and backgrounds, and warm our hearts during the winter months.
Key points:
- Interactive format: Small group discussions to encourage participation and sharing.
- Personal stories and perspectives are always welcome.
- Inclusive community: Open to all, with a focus on creating a safe and supportive space for Canadian newcomers and racialized individuals to contribute and connect.
Please note:
• Each session (from December to January) explores a different theme.
• The sessions on January 2, 16, and 30 focus on understanding the importance of storytelling for effective job search and career development
• Registration is required for each individual session.
To foster a genuine and authentic sharing experience, we ask participants to share their stories verbally (rather than reading from a written text) — to create a more dynamic and engaging experience for participants (which is also a requirement by the program funder).
Let's come together to share our stories, connect, and enrich our lives.
Session facilitated by an immigrant writer.
Reading by a contributor to an anthology published by the Immigrant Writers Association (IWA).
