Subject: Newport Storytellers: a zoom
Courtesy
Our aim is to be inclusive and welcoming to all in this space. Sexist, racist, homophobic and ableist stories, songs and comment hurt and exclude people.
How it works
- These gatherings are informal and playful
- We welcome storytellers, singers (with a song that tells a story) and listeners
- We love to hear your news and listen to works in progress
- Contributions around the 6 - 10 min mark (zoom can be tiring)
- We plan for an hour but if we're still enjoying ourselves, we may go over.
- On arrival we will create a list of participants and post in the chat so you know where you are.
Looking forward to seeing your zoomy faces.
