Event Description

The World in Worcester ~  story slam!

Tuesday, 9/27 Sahara Café and Restaurant, 143 Highland Street, Worcester, 7:00-9:00 pm.

Slammers sign in at 6:30 pm to tell a 5-minute personal story the theme of  coming to Worcester, a cross-cultural experience in Worcester, or Worcester's cultural diversity. Contact: Josna Rege: jrege@worcester.edu for more info. 

 

The broad categories for possible stories are:

—coming to Worcester;

—a cross-cultural encounter or experience in Worcester; or

—an experience of Worcester’s cultural diversity.


What is the most:

  • interesting food you’ve ever tasted (in Worcester)?
  • unexpected language you’ve heard spoken?
  • surprising meeting you’ve had or scene you've witnessed?
  • wild, wacky, wonderful thing you’ve discovered about this city (and the larger Worcester county/central Mass region)?

Have your assumptions about a person or a place here in the Worcester area ever turned out to be completely wrong?

“Because you have a life, you have a story. Bring it !

 

The World in Worcester is supported in part by a Worcester State University Faculty Mini-Grant & co-sponsored by the Global Studies Program, as WSU celebrates its Fall 2011 Theme Semester,  Worcester  in  the  World.
