In "OLD and NEW FUTURE" we make a selection from our intercultural storytelling projects and activities since the corona-outburst in the beginning of 2020, i.e. from our projects "A DREAM CITY", 'The POETRY MARATHON", "INTERCULTURAL WINDOWS" and " ALLEMAAL SAMEN - BISO BANSO ELONGO - ALLE ZUSAMMEN - .جميعا-معا . - TOUS ENSEMBLE". With these projects we help build a new normal and new solidary society, and our way to a FAIR LITTLE BELGIUM.
Verhalenwerf clip / Story Wharf clip: a short videoclip of 40" in which one of our storytellers says a basic text about the importance of stories. We made 12 versions of this clip, 8 of which will be presented. In each version one of our storytellers says this text in his/her mother tongue,
Once upon a time … there was a place where people read, told and exchanged stories. People came from many different backgrounds, worldviews, cultures and languages. It was a story wharf.
You find there stories older than the world, from the time animals could talk, lost stories that are repaired on the story wharf, and new stories from all over the world.
Stories everywhere and always are a basic food for mankind. They talk about good and evil, beauty and ugliness, love and hate, peace and war. They show us who we are, where we come from and where we’d love to go to.
