Workshop on storytelling for educational work on global justice and sustainability
10.03.2026, 2 – 5 pm CET, online via Zoom
Many people are becoming increasingly aware of a wide range of global challenges in their immediate environment. At the same time, the complexity of these issues often leads to fatigue, resignation and withdrawal. However, storytelling and listening to stories can provide alternative ways of approaching complex topics that seem far removed. Stories also offer an opportunity to forge personal connections. They can counteract feelings of loneliness and powerlessness. This means they have great potential in educational settings.
In the workshop we will explore the importance and potential of oral storytelling, a tradition deeply rooted in many cultures. We will discuss the opportunities that storytelling provides for educational work. Furthermore, we will have the chance to practise storytelling in small exercises ourselves.
Maria Carmela Marinelli is a professional storyteller and theatre educator. She travels throughout Germany and abroad as a performer and storytelling educator. She is involved in storytelling projects in schools, performs at international storytelling festivals and works as a lecturer. Her main areas of focus are storytelling education, dramaturgy, tandem and bilingual storytelling.
