Every human being has a story to tell, to share: the need to tell a story that deserves to be told. An essential communication between human beings because we come to the world to learn from each other, and those stories, keep our only greatest treasure: our individual learning.
Todo ser humano tiene una historia que contar, que compartir: la necesidad de narrar una historia que me merece ser contada. Una comunicación esencial entre los seres humanos pues venimos al mundo a aprender de unos y otros, y esas historias, guardan nuestro único y mayor tesoro: nuestro aprendizaje individual.
