Moderation: Gert Dressel For five years now, the Storytelling Café has been held regularly at the main library. Moreover, we're meeting again after the summer break. Good reasons to pause and reflect. On one hand, we'll share experiences and moments from our lives when we've stopped to take stock. On the other hand, we'll review the first five years of the Storytelling Café at the main library and look ahead together to what's coming in the months to come. Gert Dressel is a historian and staff member of the Documentation of Life Histories at the University of Vienna. He has been organizing and leading life history discussion groups and storytelling cafés for more than 25 years. His fascination with the power of storytelling and listening remains undiminished.
