Multi-lingual Stories – Story Week 2025

MULTI-LINGUAL STORIES
Story Week: Grow Deeper

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, Eva Fernandes, Sabika Abbas, Beni Beni Sumer Yanthan and Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar
