This will be an interactive workshop with ample opportunity to try out new versions of your stories and tactics to tell them. One thing is guaranteed; At the end of the workshop there will be at least 10 people in your network who can tell a version of your story. #networkingstartsnow

This workshop preceeds the networking and inspiration event from the municipality of Nijmegen, which offers a great opportunity to put into practise what you’ve just learned about networking.
