Stories play an important role in the development of cognition, social skills, meaning- and sensemaking, and thus understanding. Stories engage, make curious, ignite empathy and connect. At Storybag we believe that narrative approaches are widely applicable: in education, during change and/or transformations within communities and organisations, and more. Working with stories can contribute to cohesion and resilience, to planning concrete actions for the future, and to commitment to these actions.

The results show that working with and through stories has effect, not only in the real world but also in the digital one. In the course of the projects (and in our daily work as consultants, lecturers and researchers) we also develop manuals, workshops and trainings within different areas, all of them a solid basis for organisational, community- and educational work.

Storybag is a partner in diverse European educational projects (Erasmus+). The combined knowledge and experience of project partners all over Europe provides opportunities to explore the wide applicability of narrative approaches and applied storytelling.
