So, we've been sending you our favorite stories every week. Before we go on though, here's a quick re-cap of what PenTales is about and how YOU can play a part:

PenTales collects stories, from all over the world. PenTales contributors share their stories through live events in 20 different cities, through our online platform and through our Facebook page

What's amazing is that even when we're telling stories about the same thing - about revolt, for example - we all have our very own unique interpretations and experiences of it.

Our message this week?


If you've never shared a story with PenTales (or even if you have), do it today.
We currently have five open topics, and we're ready for YOUR take on one or all of them.
Send us a cell phone pic or a drawing that tells your story, a quick poem or a 500 word narrative...your story, your format, with just a few guidelines.

So what happens once you've contributed to a topic? We share your story with thousands of people all over the world.

Pretty cool, huh?

Yours,
Saskia, Stephanie and the entire PenTales Crew hailing from 20 cities around the world.

At PenTales, we believe that there is no better way for people to get to know one another than through the exchange of stories. Stories inspire our curiosity, our imagination, and our awareness of shared values that reach beyond languages and borders. Indeed, stories – in all forms – have the power to connect people from different backgrounds and create meaningful global dialogues. Our aim is to foster this dialogue by providing creative and inspiring ways for people to contribute and discover original stories on universal themes.
