Story Share Events
Everyday Boston’s story share events bring residents from different backgrounds together to share their life experiences with neighbors they might not otherwise know- in libraries, community centers, and open spaces.
We bring the story prompts. You bring your curiosity and desire to connect. It’s just another way we’re working with our community partners to make Boston the most connected city in America.
Pop Up Story Shops
We also run pop-up story shops around the city, meeting new neighbors and recording two-minute snapshot stories from their lives. We do this at community events hosted by a range of partners, from Transformational Prison Project to Massachusetts Historical Society to Art Lab Everett.
Then we publish the stories on our YouTube channel!
REMOTE story share Events
For those still wary of gathering in person, or working remotely, we organize virtual story share events.
First, we give participants some tips on how to get past the scripts we all use in daily conversation. Then we pair them up in breakout rooms to share stories about the one thing we’ve all got in common: Life.
It all started with our remote story share last September, as part of City Awake’s Fierce Urgency of Now! Festival for young professionals of color.
Get Involved
Everyday Boston partners with organizations of all types to run story-sharing events and pop-up story shops. We also work with businesses to run internal story-sharing events. If you’d like us to participate in your event or to collect stories on your organization or company’s behalf, please get in touch!
