In our interconnected world, storytelling remains a powerful tool for bridging cultures and building communities. This principle is at the heart of the workshops led by Andrew McCrea, renowned host of the American Countryside podcast, for the Be the Voice of Girls project. Andrew has shared his profound expertise in storytelling to inspire and educate our girls in Turkey.
During his virtual workshops, Andrew introduced various facets of American culture, drawing from his extensive podcast library dating back to 1996. More than a cultural lesson, these workshops served as a masterclass in the art of storytelling, where Andrew demonstrated how personal narratives can connect people and inspire action.
One of the most exciting outcomes of these sessions is the development of the Turkish Countryside concept. Inspired by Andrew’s American Countryside, this evolving idea aims to empower our girls to document and share their own community stories. As this concept progresses, it seeks to enable the girls to act as cultural ambassadors, sharing the richness of Turkish traditions and personal experiences with a global audience.
Andrew’s guidance is instrumental in showing our participants the significance of storytelling in cultural appreciation and understanding. His dedication to fostering connections through stories aligns beautifully with our goals at Be the Voice of Girls.
