Meeting in Lisbon

Last February Seeing Stories partners met in Lisbon for the second partnership meeting. The meeting this time focused more on the creative content of the project and particularly on the coming Storytelling festivals in Portugal (July), Italy (September), Germany (October) and Scotland (October-November).


Our Portuguese partners from IELT and Memoria Imaterial also introduced us to Lisbon and to those parts of the city that will host the storytelling festival in July.


We all look forward to go back to this beautiful city and to listen to its stories.

Seeing Stories - The journey begins in Florence

In June 2013 all partners met in Florence for the very first time and attended the kick-off meeting of the project, hosted by Chille de la Balanza in their venue in San Salvi.

The overwhelming beauty of this city with so many stories to tell represented an ideal set for our discussions and was truly inspirational.

The meeting was lively and intense, covering both the practical side of how to properly administer the project as well as how to develop its creative content. By the end of the day some decisions were taken and many ideas were thriving.

Exceptional finale of such an exceptional day was offered by the storyteller Giovanna Conforto - associated partner with Associazione Gruppo Le Falene - who generously hosted an informal partners' gathering in her house at the heart of Florence.

The following day we all explored the city and kept on discussing and nurturing ideas.

The journey begins and we are ready to start.
