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.
