Our Mission
Storytelling is — and has always been — the essential tool for knowledge sharing, community building and leadership. And beyond that, it forms a universal framework of thought that we can hardly escape.
We are seeking to find, generate and present the best ways for sharing knowledge, making sense of our world and shape the future through eloquent writing, speaking and acting.
We believe that storytelling has the power to inspire people to action, transform lives and to build understanding across cultures. Stories follow universal principles and belong to everyone, no matter their background.
We understand it as our mission to make narrative methods and competencies accessible and engaging to more people, in more places.
Guiding Principles
Community: Storytelling is an essential human tool which aims at survival and betterment through learning, community building and leadership.
Spirit of exploration: Great storytelling is committed to the truth. Therefore, it starts with observing anything with an open mind.
Leadership: To realize the story, and thus the change, a storyteller is needed who communicates the vision, calls the hero to action and supervises the activities that lead to the accomplishment of the task.
You are very much needed as a knowledge carrier and storyteller. We want to encourage you to take your place in the circle of storytellers and make your contribution to the discourse of society.
