Our Journey
Pocket Stories has gone through a massive transformation since its humble start in 2014. We started as a small online migration project that used storytelling to challenge the different ways we view migrants and travelers.
Today, after assessing more pressing needs, we are a non-profit storytelling organisation that connects people offline to broaden our understanding of migration and to embrace and celebrate diversity.
This transformation can be seen in how Pocket Stories has been reported on the last few years. Here is a selection of media reports about Pocket Stories:
