We tell stories because
it matters.

We listen because
we must.

About The Project

For millennia, humans have told stories. We tell stories to communicate and share our common experience, to express our hopes and fears and deepest beliefs. We tell stories to bind ties between us and strengthen the web of human connectedness.  In times of joy, we tell stories. And in times of great pain and strife, we need stories.  

This project seeks to create, share and collect stories across New Hampshire via multiple media and from multiple sectors of life, experience, feelings, hopes and thoughts of life during, before and in anticipation of a post-pandemic reality.  

Ethics and equity are an integral part of this project; the stories first and foremost belong to the storyteller, not to the project, key partners, or collaborators.  The project is guided and informed by a community council comprised of both professional and individual community members.
