Summary

Stephan Wolting explores storytelling as an essential contribution to the development of intercultural skills, knowledge and competences. In the light of research on individual and collective formations of identity, the author comes to the conclusion that the significance of storytelling is likely to increase in the medium and long term. Moreover, contemporary cultural and memory studies as well as research in creative and autobiographical writing highlight storytelling as an innovative and sustainable area for the development of intercultural communication.
