About this episode

In this episode, Jamie McGlue shares winning stories from a storytelling contest held during workshops in Germany, highlighting creativity and confidence among schoolkids.

I had a really great time giving workshops to schoolkids in Germany earlier this month – sharing the how and why of mindfulness, music and creative writing. As part of the programme, the classes were divided into groups and made up their own stories; then the whole class voted on their favourite story. In today's episode I read the winning stories – plus a few others as well! All of them are amazing in that those who wrote them got outside their comfort zone and had the confidence and openness to connect to their creativity and share what they came up with. But some of the stories also have genuinely genius little twists and details, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. May we all keep writing our stories – the stories of each day in our unique way. CONNECT & SUPPORT My short stories collection is available now!
