Welcome to the Lobby

Hello guest

Welcome to the Storytelling Library with the resources of the 2024 and 2025 Symposiums, and some extra material.

Now that you are here, you are welcome to stroll through our rooms and discover recordings from the events, handouts, slides, talking notes, templates, and some extras like online tutorials and invitations to ongoing courses from our speakers and the team.

We are re-organizing in the moment and constantly stacking up — so come here often and watch out for the Symposium Letter (we are trying to send one out every Monday until End of January 2026).

Questions? Do you wish for something you don’t see here? Write an email to me, the librarian, at any time.

↳ Librarian: Dr. Anja Timmermann mail@anjatimmermann.de

Where are the videos of the 2023 Symposium? We have a fine collection of pre-recorded interviews from this event, but they are in German. So we postet them at the @anjatimmermann Youtube channel. There, you may switch the captions to your language. Tune in, we had great speakers.
