What stories connected people with their neighbours and their surroundings?
The project participants collected personal memories and experiences through conversations in their neighbourhoods and turned them into lively narratives. Favourite places, formative experiences and dreams for the future were woven together. These collective stories were intended to become connecting elements between neighbours in workshop formats.

The project started in spring 2025 and was implemented in close cooperation with community centres and volunteers.
