In that little exchange as we buckled our seat belts, I learned she was from Montana and going home for vacation from study abroad. On a plane to Montana where I was to teach a workshop on storytelling for community foundations this past October, I was seated next to a college student, Shelby. Here is the story I shared at the beginning of the call:īy way of introduction I want to share a story with you. The podcast will be released soon, so look for it on the Community Matters site. Here’s to Community Matters for helping to make that happen! I’m hoping folks will stay in touch. People are eager for training, resources, examples and a community of practice. It is clear from the enthusiastic response that storytelling is moving out of the corners and into the center of the community empowerment room. We discussed the line between learning from the past and privileging it–we need the past stories, but if we’re working on change projects, we need to nest them –and make sure we gather varied perspectives on that past–within the larger portrait of the now as we work toward the future story. I was pleased, too, that Phil Stafford of Elderburbia blog brought up the risk of story sharing sinking into nostalgia for an unrecoverable past. A couple of places to start are displacements and Finding Voice and Patient Voices also, the UN Refugee Agencyhas some powerful digital stories by refugees. Past & Present Stories to Serve the FutureAnother question focused on refugee stories–where to find resources and training. Also check out Thaler Pekar’s posts for PhilanTopic. A truly excellent resource for anyone working in trauma stories is the Center for Digital Storytelling’s Silence Speaks. We discussed ways to ensure the ethical, respectful, empathic embrace of storytellers, but in that short time could do little more than touch upon some main points to keep in mind. One important question that surfaced had to do with helping people tell stories they are afraid to share–how to make sure everyone feels safe participating in a story project. I just wish we could have heard from everyone and had time to delve into each topic in more depth! I particularly appreciated hearing from Betsy Rosenbluth, Orton Family Foundation’s Director of Projects on methods and approaches her team uses in Heart & Soul planning and from the participants who asked important questions and shared their inspiring storytelling and community work.
