Voices from the New West – Nail
door Storytelling Centre
Some voices we hear all the time. In talkshows and during the news, in newspapers and on social media, they express what they think or feel. But there are also voices we hardly hear, or even not at all. For example, those of women and men who came to The Netherlands years ago and found a home in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.
How do they experience the corona crisis? They often live far away from a their families; in a country where the news is not always easy to follow; in an environment where not everyone wants to hear their story.
We give these people a voice.
Storytelling Centre strongly believes in the power of storytelling. We believe that there should be room for everyone’s story in a balanced, culturally diverse society. In a ever-changing society, we see it as a necessity to provide a stage for all those stories and to connect people by doing that. That is our drive.
