In February and March, we hosted a beautiful series of audio and video storytelling workshops at the accommodation centre in Berlin-Britz.

With Taha, participants crafted their own mini-podcasts — brainstorming ideas, recording their stories, and experimenting with sound. 🎙️✨

Hana, Amir, and Carina from Rawy Films then opened the door to visual storytelling, introducing the group to cameras and encouraging playful, hands-on exploration. 🎥💫

From sound to image, each session created space for young people to express themselves, connect, and discover new creative tools.

📚✨ Narratives of Hope has officially begun! ✨📚

We are expanding to ITALY through a partnership with ! This new project is allowing us to create an inclusive and multilingual library inside the CIAO community centre, and to offer migrant children and youth a variety of creative storytelling workshops where they can share and express themselves in many different ways. 💭📝

💡🤝 Over the past weeks, the team over there involved several teens in choosing the books they would like to find in their “wish library”, and through a few questions they explored their relationship with reading. This preliminary step will help us shape the upcoming workshops and activities for the year. Library incoming in the coming weeks!!

✨📚 This will be the very first Lilipad library in Italy but hopefully not the last. It marks in important step for us in better understanding the migration journey and challenges of children and family at a place like Sicily, often an arrival point for many.

🌍 This project is funded by the EU Commission’s Erasmus+ program.
