No competition\, no judgment\, no lecturing\, no ranting… Just share a story about something that happened to you and listen to other people’s stories. Whether you are a new or seasoned storyteller; whether you are shy or extroverted – all are welcome! The moderators will keep track of time to make sure everyone has a chance to speak.\n\nFor more info\, reach us at storyjam@uvjam.org URL:https://uvjam.org/event/story-jam-bi-monthly-storytelling-circle-7/ LOCATION:JAM – Junction Arts & Media\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Story_Jam-copy.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250521T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250521T193000 DTSTAMP:20260515T111902 CREATED:20250407T192125Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250424T175823Z UID:10001590-1747848600-1747855800@uvjam.org SUMMARY:JAM Spring Media Education Final Showcase DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the creations of film and media makers of all ages and experience levels!
