Your Story Here

The Caring Community Challenge is focused on building our collective capacity to look after each other better no matter where you live. Our pilot neighbourhood was Bathurst and Finch in Toronto, but we'd like you to add to our stories. If you're interested, please read on.

Want to tell your neighbour's story?

Our Neighbours' Stories was first conceived by the great people at Post Bellum in the Czech Republic. The program runs there through the public school system, where students complement their study of history by conducting interviews with their neighbours on their experiences of major world events. Post Bellum has found that in the process of recording and developing the stories, great relationships are formed between the seniors and youth. We are aiming to replicate this outcome, while sharing the great diversity of life experiences Toronto and Canada has to offer. 

We are building relationships with organizations of youth and seniors that want to participate in growing our story collection. And we want to hear from you as well.

 

  • If you want to make the story yourself, we have a training outline for you.

  • If you want to organize a series of stories for your neighbourhood, reach out! We can help guide you, and help you avoid some common barriers to development.

  • If you're working with a youth or seniors organization, or can support growth in relationships and story capture, please let us know.

 

We strongly believe that the more stories we can capture, the more powerful the impact of our collective story will be. Everybody has a story to tell. We are unique and we want to know each other.

We look forward to hearing from you. Contact us via email or call at the number below.
