Storytelling with soul.

[Journo Birds @journobirds]

Me, when someone says something is too boring to be turned into a story that every human can relate to on some level.

What's the one superpower everyone has but doesn't know about?
Being able to create images inside someone else's head. And make them feel a certain way.
Try it!
Just open your mouth and tell a story.

Storytelling is a form of art. It collects and reorganises what happens in the world, helping us make sense of it and ourselves. Good storytellers immerse themselves in situations to feel and resonate on a level no AI prompting could ever do. Agree?

We have been trying to publish this story since spring! Sometimes, you have to be patient. The story's best is from @OlegCondrea: "Animation is easy if you stay true to yourself and your voice."
Isn't it true for everything in life?

Russia’s behavior in recent years has pushed Moldovan fruit producers to send their goods to Europe instead of Russia (like before). Pretty cool, huh? https://t.co/IkSaxju07i

Much of the story about Moldova’s wine cellars has relied more on legends than factual documents. “But it may change soon!” a local researcher told us. Moldova wants the world’s greatest underground wine cellars to be listed as UNESCO heritage sites.

Only recently, Moldovans referred to other European countries as 'over there, in Europe' or commented on how 'life in Europe is different from ours.'
Today, you could finally hear from a stage in Chisinau: "Good evening, Europe!"
Happy Europe Day!

“We focus on business. I cannot change society, but I can support and show you what you can achieve.” Childcare and domestic duties are still mostly on women’s shoulders in Moldova. “You have to accept that your rhythm will be slower, and that’s okay.”

Moldovans, do you remember when Eurovision singer Pasha Parfeni did something super awesome in 2016? He stood up against the corrupt politicians onstage, in front of the country's elite! It was tough, but he didn't have a choice, he told us.

What's the hardest thing about starting a business? Moldovan women speak up, products in their hands. #YEPMoldova #Artcor #Moldova @EUinMoldova @unwomenmoldova

“Never stop trying to do your best, even if you fail at first. We didn't win our first competition eight years ago, even though we worked hard. But we loved it!"

Moldovan robotics teacher Florin Cazac took Moldovan teenagers to the global arena.

What is it like to attend school in a stateless place?
In Russia-controlled Transnistria, there is a school where children and staff pass armed guards daily by buses to reach free Moldova. Because they don't want to study write their Latin-derived language in Cyrillic.

@cgherasimov @sandumaiamd Amazing! You deserve it!

@HIS_Moldova It's been so beautiful here lately! We wanted to show what happens in Moldova when it snows. https://t.co/fNWzliNPtU

@Brit_in_Moldova Yay! Great news!

"If only these dusty walls could talk..."
📷But we can!
Spring is coming, and we've discovered that it brings more reasons to fall in love with Chisinau – the city with untold, perhaps hidden, stories.

Up to 10,000 Ukrainian refugees fled to Transnistria, a Moldovan breakaway region, facing challenges accessing services and aid.

There are around 10,000 Ukrainian refugees no one speaks about. They've settled in the pro-Russian Transnistria, one of the closest safe areas from the bombed Ukraine. Among those who can't go further are the elderly and people with special needs. They don't get enough support.

Moldova plays a crucial role in safely getting Ukrainian grains out to the world. We traced were our sunflower seeds come from and ended up in the global food bottleneck, the port of Giurgiulesti.
