Or do you want to share the knowledge you have already gained about cultural awareness and storytelling?

"My name is Momo and I will be having the interview with you.
Before the interview we will have an informal conversation where we can get to know each other and discuss the topic, content and form of the interview. If you like, we can invite audience to the interview and open the space for questions from the community.
