Telling stories is one of our most ancient and powerful forms of expression. It’s what helps us connect with one another and shines a light on our shared humanity, bringing us closer to people we may never meet or to places we may never go.

Join us for an evening of storytelling on Monday 11 December 2023 at the art deco Ciné Lumière situated within the Institut Français in South Kensington.

Our storytellers are MSF staff who, reflecting on the theme ‘On a Knife-Edge’, will share their experience of working with MSF in emergencies.

Our speakers will reflect on situations where the outcome hangs in the balance, the smallest change can cause something to succeed or fail, and two very different results are possible.

This promises to be an evening of gripping and moving stories told by the people at the heart of our projects.
