Monomyths Association

Once upon a time, 2 youngsters were brought together by their passion for stories. So they decided to join their foces and create Monomyths Association, a non-profit institution situated in Bucharest, Romania. It is a wonderland where communication specialists gathered around to use their power for the good of the society, to produce large-scale change with their magic tools and potions. It was established at the end of 2014 after the main members tested the compatibility between non-formal education and storytelling for NGOs for more than 5 years. The stated purpose of Monomyths Association is „Positive societal change by empowering youngsters and not-for-profit entities to actively promote their mission, projects and campaigns”. Therefore, we believe that by fostering personal transformation, we can produce large-scale change.
