methodology
Our approach.
Pocket Stories began by collecting stories of people with very diverse migration background both online and offline. We put international students, adoptees, refugees, expats and travellers side by side to share stories which uncovered stories of identity, belonging, family, home, integration, business and social entrepreneurship. These stories showed how we are all connected through migration.
Increasing number of people wanted to share their stories, but questioned whether they had a story worth telling or needed help to structure their story. As a response we developed Storytelling Journey, a storytelling workshop which allows participants to re-discover their personal journey individually and in groups.
Throughout the years we have designed and implemented multiple international collaboration projects that embrace our values and goals. We believe exchange or knowledge and experiences across borders and disciplines is the only way to create a more inclusive future.
Today, we are working mainly working on Roots Guide, a guidebook which brings our collective experience and expertise into a novel interactive travel guidebook which will re-frame current narrative about migration to a more holistic and inclusive narrative.
