Storytelling Festival - Migrant Writers of Singapore

Storytelling Festival

Held on 8 May 2022, the Storytelling Festival saw migrant and local storytellers come together and share their stories, going towards creating a more compassionate world and a safe space to be heard, and spreading the message of oneness and love towards every human being. The festival celebrates the power of storytelling and of using stories to make sense of our world and share that understanding with others. In addition to sharing sessions from more than 20 guests, a yoga session was also held as part of an initiative to promote mental health awareness and self-care.
