Elles publishing house hosted a warm and interactive storytelling evening with storyteller and writer Hanaa El-Khawaga, celebrating the magic of storytelling as a human act of connection and a tool for expression and healing.
Hanaa El-Khawaga opened the evening with stories inspired by her experience in Morocco, where she led a personal storytelling journey over three days with 22 Moroccan participants. The experience reflected the richness of human narratives, the diversity of stories, and the power of storytelling to create shared spaces for communication and heartfelt expression.
The evening also featured a special musical interlude by Rahma Mohamed, who took the audience on a nostalgic musical journey through a selection of classic songs, including “In One Thousand and One Nights” and “Ya Tamar Henna,” adding warmth and vibrant interaction to the atmosphere.

She is a member of the Beit El-Hawadeet team and has participated in storytelling and training at numerous local and international events, including the Cairo Nights International Monodrama Festival, the International Storytelling Forum, Beit El-Senary, Beit El-Suhaymi, the Journalists Syndicate, and the Jesuit Cultural Center in Cairo.
