“Saftey is what we feel” – Simmering Story Café, 21. September 2025
The Simmering Story Café, an initiative by The Learning Street, invites the public to a special event on September 21 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Under the motto “Safety is what we feel,” the focus will be on personal exchange and breaking down prejudices.
What is a Story Café?
A Story Café is a moderated discussion circle that provides a safe and respectful space for sharing life stories and experiences. It is not a debating club, but a place of attentive listening. The basic rule is simple: everyone has the opportunity to tell their personal story on a given topic. During the telling, there are no questions, no comments, and no judgments. The goal is to truly listen to one another, discover common ground, and gain new perspectives—ultimately strengthening mutual understanding and social cohesion.
Event Schedule:
After a short introduction and welcome, the concept and key rules of the Story Café will be explained. The moderated storytelling round will then begin, where participants take turns sharing their stories and thoughts on the theme “Safety is what we feel.” This part is dedicated entirely to storytelling and listening, fostering an atmosphere of appreciation and empathy.
Following the moderated session, there will be time for free reflection and networking over drinks and light snacks. This informal part of the afternoon encourages relaxed conversation, deeper exploration of topics, and new connections.
