Storytelling prompts

There are many ways to tell a story – stories do not have to be written and they do not have to be only words! You can tell any story you want but we ask that you tell a story mostly about yourself and not others. Please do not name or identify others without their consent. Stories can be written, audio recordings of your voice; music or artwork – get creative!

If you work best with a prompt – consider some of these below:

  • How has who you were in 2019 changed from who you are now?
  • What have you learned about yourself?
  • What have you learned about your community or the world around us?
  • What do you miss the most about life before the pandemic?
  • What new hobbies or skills or insights have you gained?
  • Share a visual image (painting, photograph, etc) that expresses how you are feeling today.
  • Is there a song or a piece of music or a type of music that has helped you through this last year?
  • What would you like the world to know about this time in New Hampshire?

If you work best with some assistance, please check the event section on our Homepage for workshops and events in your area!

Only you own your story so please read and consider the consent section carefully. Remember, you can submit your story anonymously if you want. If you need some help understanding the consent section or anything else, please reach out to hello@ourstorynh.com

Thank you for sharing your story and becoming part of Our Story: Reflections from the Pandemic and Beyond
