Join us as we pull back the curtain on the inaugural Common Language Story Slam, taking place at cSpace in Calgary, Alberta on March 2nd, 2025. Born from the success of our Kickstarter campaign, this festival is more than just storytelling—intertwines personal narratives with charitable causes. With twelve stories to be shared, the event promotes community connection, engagement, and awareness of the important work done by 12 different Canadian organizations.

The Story Slam is a testament to the power of teamwork, featuring powerful narratives shared by storytellers and Common Language facilitators about causes that are close to their hearts. We also delve into digital storytelling's role in advocacy, showcasing how these narratives serve as a compelling tool for charities to communicate their missions promising a day filled with stories that inspire and ignite hope.

Even if you missed the Kickstarter, you can still be part of this transformative experience by getting your tickets for either the online or in person event. Attendees will leave feeling invigorated, having witnessed stories that echo resilience and strength. It's also a golden opportunity to connect with past podcast guests and meet new faces from the Co-Created community!
