Introductory course for the organization and moderation of storytelling cafés

At moderated storytelling cafés, people exchange their life stories and experiences and thus strengthen social cohesion. Talking about life, listening to others and laughing together. Participating in a storytelling café is a particularly inspiring experience – and incidentally a low-threshold offer for a
Loneliness.

CONTENT
Would you like to organize and moderate storytelling cafés yourself? In the introductory course, you will learn the first basics. For example, how you can break the ice and encourage people you don't know to tell your story. The introductory course will also present the three-day training course, which is expected to take place in 2026. In the training course, you will receive the tools to competently conduct storytelling cafés yourself in the future.

TARGET GROUP
The introductory course is aimed at all those who would like to offer storytelling cafés themselves in the future and are considering completing the training course. Persons residing in Graubünden have priority to take part in the introductory course.
