What stories connect people to their neighbours and their surroundings? Project participants gather personal memories and experiences by conversing with neighbourhood folks and process them into living narratives. Favourite places, formative experiences, and dreams of the future meld together. In workshops, collective stories become connective forces between neighbours. The project begins in spring 2025 and takes shape in close collaboration with social centres and volunteers.
