About the theme:
Our world is divided by borders and boundaries. Some are due to
geological features of the earth’s surface and others have been imposed by humans. We look at borders not as merely physical, but also mental, personal, and cultural boundaries. There are economic borders, political borders, and social borders. How do borders and boundaries define us?

About Story Nights:
We’re a nonprofit storytelling community and live event series dedicated to inspiring, healing, transforming, and entertaining people through the art of live storytelling. From our humble beginning in October 2015 in Bratislava, we now organize live storytelling events in Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, Chandigarh, Manila, and Cebu! We are proud to be part of ISAC – International Society for Arts and Culture.

FAQs:
Q: What type of stories can I tell/ hear?
A: We want people to share true stories about their lives – and every
event has a different theme but the most important thing is it must be a
first-person true story. This is NOT an event for debates, political
speeches, philosophical musings, and religious sermons. We also do not
tolerate offensive, hateful, and objectifying talks.
Q: I have a really good story to share which is relevant to this theme.
A: Great! Please send it to hon@isac-eu.org with a short description of
your story. If there’s enough time, we’ll give you 7min to tell your
story.
Q: Are the stories in English?
A: Yes!
Q: Can I come and just listen to others’ stories?
A: Yes, definitely!

Zaostri na svet, ktorý máme doma!

Na Slovensku žije už vyše 150 tisíc cudzincov a cudziniek. Sú našimi susedami, kolegami, priateľkami či dokonca rodinnými príslušníkmi. Tvoria neoddeliteľnú súčasť tejto krajiny a prispievajú k rozvoju slovenskej spoločnosti. Predstavujú svet, ktorý máme doma. A hoci mnoho ľudí nepozná osobne žiadneho cudzinca či cudzinku, ukazuje sa, že priamy kontakt je tým najlepším prístupom, ako búrať bariéry medzi nami na oboch stranách. Práve preto Nadácia Milana Šimečku organizuje 16. – 25. septembra 2021 v Bratislave festival [fjúžn], ktorým chceme opäť poskytnúť príležitosť na stretávanie a spoznávanie sa.

Počas festivalu sa môžete tešiť na skutočne pestrú a rozmanitú zmes viac než 20 podujatí, na rôznych miestach, v rôznych formátoch. Koncerty, diskusie, výstavy, divadelné predstavenia aj komunitné podujatia, ktoré vám priblížia svety a životy ľudí s koreňmi v najrôznejších krajinách sveta, no domovom na Slovensku.
