PARETZ is a small village, somewhere south-west of the German capital Berlin. Again, we are not in the center – knowing that the new isn’t supposed to appear there. Arriving to Paretz is a bit like getting into a time machine. It is a place where no one comes by chance. And, as a kind of dead end, the perfect place for our StoryCamp. In any case, no one got lost there by chance.
Autumn.
The camp is over. the stories are blooming.
Time to harvest …
Thanks for being with us!
