A mile in my shoes
Ever wondered how someone else sees the world? What life is like for other people? Come to our monthly storytelling nights for a night of empowering stories as we wriggle our toes into other people's shoes and take a walk in their shoes.

We are taking a break over the summer, but will be back with more stories in September!
We look forward to seeing you then. As always you can just show up with your pals, snuggle up on our seats and prepare yourselves to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
Have a good summer and until soon!

About A Mile in my Shoes
A mile in my shoes is a collaboration between Wageningen University and EEH productions and consists of a series of storytelling events and workshops around diversity & inclusion topics. Even as children, people learn about the world, themselves and others through the stories they are told. Stories convey personal experiences, values, emotions, and can forge connections among people. They allow you to connect with a person, the storyteller, and gives insight into their life.
Share your story

Resources and Support
During A mile in my shoes storytelling nights you will hear true stories from people in the WUR community. These stories can be entertaining, thought provoking, emotional and moving. If any of the stories trigger something that you want support with, please know that Wageningen University provides different kinds of guidance for students.
Student Dean
The student deans advise and assist students confidentially with questions concerning areas such as: studying with a disability, study delay due to special circumstances, (temporary) termination of enrolment, financial matters, advice, complaints, or conflicts. More information on the support offered and how to make an appointment can be found here
Student Psychologist
The student psychologist can help you with personal problems that can lead to study delay, or with study-related health problems. You can come to us with family problems, insecurity, anxiety or gloominess, but also depression, addiction, tension or mourning. More information

Heart-to-heart talk with an experienced coach about life. These are short consultations. A conversation with a good listener may just take a load off your mind. More information
