Storytelling is a useful tool to learn how to communicate, keep in touch with the others and expressour own inwardness.
The idea of LISTEN is that stories can build bridges between refugees and migrants and their receiving societies. These stories give migrants and refugees a voice and raise the awareness for their perspectives, wishes, visions, challenges and problems.
