We are working on Story Circles this year, 2022-2023
To include more people in our stories.
During the pandemic, we helped Sheffield Historical with a story circle about the home front in WWII; and we participated in the West Side Legends story circle about growing up on the West Side of Pittsfield, MA, during the time of the huge urban renewal project of the 1960s that demolished parts of the neighborhood and replaced them with a more suburban design and businesses.
At Berkshire Community College, in October, 2022, we ran a story circle for a DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion) Day of Food. Our Memories of Food was our first story circle at BCC.
In spring 2023, we worked with TRIO, a vital campus program, to host a story circle on the theme of RESILIENCE. And worked with the student services DEI coordinator who will run her own story circles.
