CONVERSATION STATIONS
We host pop-up conversation stations around the city to help ease loneliness and build community between people who might not otherwise meet. We bring the prompts; you bring your stories.
We’ve set up more than 30 conversation stations in the past year, whether it’s on the streets of the city during the summer months or indoors at small businesses when the weather turns cold. It’s another way we’re working with our community partners to make Boston the most connected city in America.
Recent partners include: V!Healthy; the Substation; the Rose Kennedy Greenway; City of Boston’s Open Streets Program; Soccer Unity Cup; Maverick Landing Community Services; East Boston Farmer's Market; and Company One.
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, nonprofits, and open spaces.
We bring the story prompts. You bring your curiosity and desire to connect.
Recent partners include: Speak for The Trees Boston, Teen Empowerment, and The Good People Fund.
REMOTE story share Events
For those working or gathering remotely, we also 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.
Recent partners include: Partakers and Massachusetts Community Engagement Alliance.
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!
