CLIME is excited to announce a call for storytellers as a part of our Annual CLIME Together Symposium 2022. We are seeking UW affiliated storytellers to tell a healthcare related story on the theme: Disability and Healthcare.
We invite storytellers to share their stories about living with disability in ways that relate to the past and future of healthcare. We are eager to hear your stories about teaching, studying, and/or practicing in the healthcare arena. The stories may be serious, heartfelt, funny, absurd, lyrical and can be expressed in any genre. We encourage those who identify as having a disability to submit their story to share their perspectives as patients, practitioners, and/or educators.
“Storytelling is listening, engaging, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting and sending the message you’re not alone.” – Kent Whipple (founder of storytelling program at the Unexpected Productions Improv School)
Details:
- Stories will be 7 minutes or less
- We will provide all storytellers with professional coaching, mentoring and any necessary accommodations.
- Storytellers will be expected to attend at least 3 of 4 virtual coaching sessions that will be offered.

- The event will not be judged
