Storytelling Workshop

Immigrant Stories of Coming to Michiana

August 21, 2022

3-5 p.m.

South Bend Civic Theatre 


With support from the Indiana Arts Commission and a partnership with the South Bend Civic Theatre, the URC and Welcoming Michiana will provide a workshop on storytelling for immigrants. 


The first event will be on Sunday, August 21, 3-5 p.m. at SBCT, 403 N. Main, South Bend. 


URC has asked a few folks whose stories of arrival, adjustment, departure from their homelands, or any poignant story might help the broader community to understand their backgrounds. The opportunity to tell those stories to a local audience will take place at community events, including Best.Week.Ever.


If you are someone of immigrant roots and think you have a story to tell, please join us!
