Rome: stepping onto the international stage.
In June 2025, the young storytellers of the Cassandra Project took their final steps together at the FEST conference in Rome. This major gathering of the international storytelling community provided a fitting finale to their journey. Surrounded by professional storytellers, festival programmers, and cultural organizers from across Europe, the young artists had the opportunity to present their performances to a global audience. Their stories, shaped over months of research, mentoring, and local try-outs, were now part of a wider European dialogue on personal and socially engaged storytelling. The conference not only offered them visibility but also a platform to connect, exchange, and reflect on their growth.
For many, this was a first step into the professional storytelling world: an inspiring moment that marked both the culmination of the Cassandra Project and the beginning of their independent artistic paths.
