Intergenerational Story Circle

Registration is closed for workshop 1, but please join us for workshop 2 on July 24. In particular, we are seeking more youth between 13 and 23.

Refreshments will be served!

Join us for a story circle that brings older adults and youth together to share and preserve life stories and listen to one another. We will respond to prompts about our childhood memories, cultural reflections, neighborhood changes, belonging, and of course stoops! We will then facilitate a discussion reflecting on the stories participants told, identifying connections across generations.

*This is part 1 of 2 workshops that build on each other.

Call for Participants:

Stoop Stories, the Five Boro Story Project and Heights & Hills invite you to join us for two intergenerational storytelling workshops!

We are seeking 5-10 older adults (60+) and 5-10 youth (13-29) to participate in two workshops on July 17 and July 24. We ask that you attend both workshops, if possible, as the second one builds on the first, and consent to being filmed. Some workshop participants will be filmed in a short documentary film this summer or fall.

This program is generously funded by Citizens Committee for NYC.  Contact Us  with any questions.
