Why Storytelling Corps?

In our bridge-building work, we meet many different people all over the country. And everywhere we meet people who have experienced discrimination and prejudice. In our meetings, many people also become particularly aware of their own prejudices... because we all have prejudices.

In collaboration with the municipality of Copenhagen, Bridge Builders has trained a corps of storytellers who are ready to go out across the country to share their stories of discrimination and prejudice.

Whether we meet the students during Bridge Builder Week, the association, the company or the employees in a municipality, we have learned that what works is to meet a real person. A real person who has experienced first-hand how it feels to be discriminated against. It is by sharing these stories that we can gain a better understanding of each other and shake our own prejudices.

Who are the
The Bridge Builders Storytelling Corps?

The Bridge Builders' Storytelling Corps is made up of a wide range of exciting people with valuable stories. What they have in common is that they all have something to say, they all have a minority background... and they are all brave enough to tell their personal story.

The corps is made up of different religions, ethnicities, sexualities and disabilities. The Bridge Builders' Storytellers share their own stories from different points of view. They talk about episodes in their own lives where they have faced discrimination and prejudice.

They also tell us how they reacted to it and what reflections they have had later.

How does the Storytelling Corps work?

It is very important to us that you meet our Storytellers as open, curious and interested as possible. We hope that you will ask a lot of questions about their stories, but also respect their boundaries. This will give everyone the best and most fulfilling experience.

The Bridge Builders' Storytelling Corps is always part of Bridge Week. So if you're from a school and would like to plan a Bridge Builders Week or just want to read more about how it works, click here.
