Urban Storytelling Journal – Launch Event

On October 25 at 16:00, we warmly invite you to the launch of the urban storytelling journal at C*SPACE!

This is not a dry manual, but a living, collective magazine designed as a travel diary. It brings together portraits, reflections, micro-essays, and visual fragments created by the participants of the Urban Storytelling School and program partners. Together, we explored the magic hidden in everyday urban life, discovering how personal stories and collective research can transform city spaces into places of learning, connection, and vision for young people across Bulgaria and Germany.

What to expect:
— Presentation of the journal and its stories
— A chance to see and experience the final projects from Sofia and Berlin
— Exchange with artists, educators, and community organizers from both cities
— Free copies of the journal to take home

​About program:
​Urban Storytelling School is an Erasmus+ partnership program by Center for Social Vision / Sofia and C*SPACE / Berlin, aimed at artists, educators, urban experts, activists, and community leaders, who would like to envision and reshape urban spaces through international learning and hands-on storytelling projects such as interactive walks, experimental guides, interventions, and mapping. Activities include residencies in Berlin and Sofia, mentoring sessions, group project work and a final publication. The program is funded Erasmus+ Small-scale partnerships in youth.

Program partners:
C*SPACE is a purpose-driven creative space for co-working, projects and events in Berlin-Weißensee. We also initiate cultural and learning programs, co-creating and connecting ideas and encounters across borders. C*SPACE is a hub for social innovation, where global and local neighbors come together across cultural and sectoral boundaries to develop critical awareness and solutions for new forms of regenerative work and learning, as well as celebrate cultural diversity and exchange. C* stands for curiosity, courage, community and collaboration.

Center for Social Vision is an idea space and platform fostering exchange of experiences, policies and action towards socially-related art practices. Established in 2021, it brings together curators, artists, researchers, writers, architects and designers to explore the intersections between art and society, looking for opportunities for dialogue and reflection. Since 2022, we publish the online media Journal for Social Vision that is open to research and discussions related to topics of community, environment, urban space and cultural heritage. It is run by the The Blue Cube Foundation and partners with the art space Swimming Pool as well as the festival Nine Elephants, also run by the same organization. www.centerforsocialvision.org
