Storytelling connects us as individuals. Being able to tell our stories and listen to the stories of others helps us make meaning out of our experiences and defines who we understand ourselves to be. Storytelling events will be facilitated by Sheffield resident, Chris Kelly. After all storytellers have finished sharing, there will be a group discussion exploring themes, similarities, and contrasts noticed within the stories as a whole. From this activity, Dewey Hall hopes to strengthen ties and to encourage a sense of connection and belonging within our region.
