About A Mile in my Shoes
A mile in my shoes is a collaboration between Wageningen University and EEH productions and consists of a series of storytelling events and workshops around diversity & inclusion topics. Even as children, people learn about the world, themselves and others through the stories they are told. Stories convey personal experiences, values, emotions, and can forge connections among people. They allow you to connect with a person, the storyteller, and gives insight into their life.
Share your story
Do you want to share your story? You are welcome to join one of the upcoming workshops to learn how. You might surprise yourself and tell your story during a show! All will be met and handled with the delicacy and respect that everyone’s story deserves.
The next workshop dates are being scheduled and will start in September.

Resources and Support
During 'A Mile in My Shoes' storytelling nights, you will hear true stories from people in the WUR community. These stories can be entertaining, thought-provoking, emotional and moving. If any of the stories trigger something you want support with, please know that Wageningen University provides different kinds of guidance for students.
Student Dean
The student deans advise and assist students confidentially with questions concerning areas such as: studying with a disability, study delay due to special circumstances, (temporary) termination of enrolment, financial matters, advice, complaints, or conflicts. More information on the support offered and how to make an appointment can be found here.
Student Psychologist
The student psychologist can help you with personal problems that can lead to study delay, or with study-related health problems. You can come to us with family problems, insecurity, anxiety or gloominess, but also depression, addiction, tension or mourning. More information
Life Coaches
Heart-to-heart talk with an experienced coach about life. These are short consultations. A conversation with a good listener may just take a load off your mind. More information
