Storytelling Barcelona – "Courage"

Storytelling Barcelona – "Courage"

Wed, Nov 18, 6:00 PM
From Storytelling Barcelona
4.8

Here to announce our November theme: COURAGE. Maybe the loud kind. Maybe the heroic kind. Or maybe the quiet, shaky, deeply human kind. Give us stories of fear faced, risks taken, truths spoken, and moments when you acted despite being terrified. Courage that looked impressive—and courage no one noticed. Maybe it’s about staying when leaving would’ve been easier. Or saying no when the only accepted answer was yes. Or the smallest brave act that changed everything. **As always, interpret the theme freely.** 📍 **Where:** Café El Noa Noa, C/Villarroel 71, Eixample 🕢 **When:** Wednesday, Nov 18 **Time:** Doors at 19:00 — Stories from 19:30 to 21:30 💶 **Free entry** \| **Donations welcome** **Please come just to listen or get on stage,** be vulnerable, and share with us, a diverse group of welcoming and open people who are curious about each others' lives. Stories will last from 7 to 10 minutes. Expect ten stories plus an intermission. **Storytelling Barcelona is a completely free event run by volunteers.** We welcome everyone to get on stage! Absolutely no experience is necessary. We only ask that stories be true and personal and that they are performed as opposed to read—and they should be stories instead of philosophical musings, motivational speeches, or stand-up routines. The content is completely at the discretion of the storyteller as long as it is related in the monthly theme and respectful to the diversity and experiences of all humans. **Interested in sharing a story?** Spots are volunteer-based and given on a first come, first serve basis. [Sign up through our form](https://forms.gle/gDY6vAA7fdiBwAC4A). For any questions or concerns, reach out to us via DM! find us on Instagram @storytellingbarcelona **Bring some cash for the tip jar!** We will always remain free because we want to be an event open to everyone! We do have a donation jar at the event that helps sustain the project, so bring some extra change and toss it in. **No RSVP needed to be part of the audience** — just walk in, grab a seat, and join us for an evening of community, courage, and connection. We also have a podcast if you want to enjoy stories from home called **[What Lingers.](https://www.instagram.com/whatlingerspod)** You can find it on all podcast platforms!

From Labcuina kitchen lab Barcelona

L'Atelier des Non Chefs – Non Chef Edition LabCuina – Special Collection: "In the Kitchen With…" Obrador \| Saturday\, 11:00–14:00 Plant\-based \| Organic \| Local \| Seasonal \| Zero Waste **MENU OF THE DAY: A Cozy Japanese Autumn Curry** **THE SPIRIT** L'Atelier des Non Chefs is a collective, joyful and inclusive cooking experience for people who love food without needing to be professional chefs. It celebrates: \- Learning by doing \- Sharing knowledge and cultures \- Simplicity and creativity \- Community over performance **WHY THIS BRUNCH?** This unserious brunch has two main goals: Plant-based integration Making vegan food a natural part of daily life through recipes that are sustainable, whole-food based, nutritious and, above all, quick and easy to prepare. Community and solidarity Even more important is building community. This is a space for activists and people fighting injustice to connect with like-minded people, share meaningful time and take a break from the resistance they face in their work. A safe, inclusive environment rooted in empathy and love. **HOW IT WORKS** 1\. A short welcome 2\. We split into teams\, each with its own tasks 3\. We cook a simple\, healthy once\-course meal together 4\. We sit down and eat together 5\. We split into teams again for a quick\, efficient cleanup No experience needed. True to the "unserious cooking" spirit, it's low pressure and all about learning together. We keep the kitchen clean as we go so everything flows smoothly. **SCHEDULE** Saturday, 11:00 – 14:00 (3 hours) **CONTRIBUTION** – "Participación Consciente" We work with a conscious contribution model: \- Ingredient cost for this menu: approx\. 5–6 € \- Everyone contributes according to their means above the cost of the ingredients \- Contributions sustain the kitchen\, materials and collective activities This keeps the atelier accessible, fair and community-supported. **WHAT IS LABCUINA?** LabCuina is a social kitchen project, running since **2013**, that combines: \- Plant\-based and zero\-waste food experimentation \- Community learning \- Cultural exchange A space where cooking becomes a tool for social connection, education, ecological awareness and collective creativity. **WHAT IS A SOCIAL CANTEEN?** A social canteen is more than a place to eat. It uses food to: \- Build community \- Create inclusion \- Share resources \- Support accessibility Meals are affordable, participatory and values-driven, focused on care rather than profit. **WHY WE DO THIS** We believe cooking together can: \- Strengthen social bonds \- Empower people \- Encourage sustainable food choices \- Reconnect us with simple\, shared rituals In a fast-paced world, L'Atelier des Non Chefs creates a slow, human and meaningful moment around food. Come as you are. Cook together. Eat together. Learn together.
