MULTI-LINGUAL STORY SHARING
Story Week: Grow Deeper

This activity is part of Multi-lingual Stories: A night of conversations and stories. Come for the discussion, the story-sharing or catch both.

The Multi-lingual Stories evening includes:
Con-Verse – Bring the Community With You: 5:30 pm–6:30 pm
Multi-lingual Story Sharing: 7 pm–10 pm

That feeling of being different because of skin tone and / or language, how do we own it? Celebrate it? Call it our superpower? Multilingual Stories is a sharing circle where we celebrate languages other than English, share stories and poems about being new to a place and weave diverse perspectives into a vibrant evening mesh. The door is open. The multilingual mic is yours.

Poets, writers and you – the audience – are invited to listen and tell stories in your mother tongue about coming to a new land.

HOST: Dai Moret
FEATURING: Ashu Bhoir, Catherine Trindall, Eva Fernandes, Lizzie Chan, Sabika Abbas, Beni Beni Sumer Yanthan and Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar
