Our values

Charisma is a collaborative space where people can create, share and experience interactive stories. We ask everyone to respect Our Values:

• Original Stories. Charisma is about originality and new forms of storytelling. Inspiration is everywhere. Originality deserves respect.
• Privacy Matters. Charisma is about imagination and created worlds and characters. No one should appear in a story without their consent. Privacy deserves respect.
• Respect for All. Charisma is about being inclusive and open to all voices. No person or community should be disparaged in a story. Everyone deserves respect.
• Advert Lite. Charisma is about powering new stories for the sheer joy of storytelling. Advertising can help fund stories but must be agreed with us and clearly signposted.
