“I find it important to contribute to the world with by emphasising the exchange of stories within society. Where I can, I create awareness on the global scope of stories in today’s globalized world and the own reference we all have towards the stories around us. By doing this I wish for both myself and for the people and organisations I meet, to become more open and curious towards the stories of others. I find curiosity key in creating stories and enjoying life and that is why this attitude is central to the way I work.”
Barbara is co-founder of two organizations devoted to the art of storytelling and listening called Uma Visual Storytellers and Global Storytellers.
