The Power of Stories to Heal

Bibliotherapy with Bijal Shah

Join me today as I discuss the power of stories with prominent Slovenian story coach and book blogger Alenka Štrukelj, to heal us and transform us for the better. We also talk about her work on a fascinating European project called the European Library of Emotions as well as a whole host of book projects that she is working on including some exciting Slovenian travel books that also incorporate fairy tale hikes, that are perfect for kids in and around the country as well as in neighbouring Italy, Hungary and Austria.
Alenka Štrukelj is a PR expert, story coach and author of the literary blog Literarna lekarna (Literary Pharmacy). She is also a collaborator of the Slovenian Reading Badge Association in the project National Month of Shared Reading, and of Slovenian Institute of Adult Education as an editor of the Family Literacy web site. She writes articles for several magazines and e-magazines of literature and culture. In Slovenia (ex. AirBeletrina) She loves contemporary art and dance as well as travelling and good coffee. Instead of artworks, she collects children's picture books.
