21.5.15 | Schreibcafe

On a Thursday afternoon, Renate hosted the first Screibcafé - a casual coming together of those who wish to remember, record and share their everyday stories.  With the sentiment that in everyone's life there is a story worth telling, Renate provided a comfortable environment for the appreciation of everyone's individual experiences in life, which were captured through the written word.  Accompanied by tea/coffee and cake, three generations took the time to write or draw a story to the topic of "a touching moment in life", which Renate chose for the first edition of the Schreibcafé.

The stories, written in three different languages, were taken from multiple, individual inspirations and were then spoken aloud to the group and discussed further, sharing similar experiences with each other and what each individual has learnt from them.  Overall, a great success and we're already looking forward to the continuation of this collective memory sharing.

All the stories (in written and drawing form) are available to read below, and will be produced into a singular book for each edition - look out for the physical and original versions at the next Stammtisch (4.6.15)!
