Please join us for a virtual Narrative 4 (N4) story exchange sponsored by EO Smith’s Deliberation and Discourse Project on February, Friday the 26th, from 7:00-8:30 pm!

The E.O. Smith Deliberation and Discourse group is offering a unique story sharing experience. Over the course of the past year many people have felt lonely and isolated from family and friends, this Narrative 4 event can help make connections and bring people together.
Narrative 4 is a network of educators, students and artists who use storytelling to build empathy between people. Using a story exchange, Narrative 4 helps people understand that their voices, stories, actions and lives matter, and that they have the power to rebuild and revolutionize systems.
A Narrative 4 event consists of personal and group story exchanges from prompts such as:
-Describe a time you found hope and glimmers of joy during the pandemic.
-What are some lessons you have learned over the course of the past year during the pandemic?
-Who is someone you look up to? Why?
-What was a moment that completely changed your life? How so?

Join us for an evening of sharing, let’s come together to listen and learn. Ages middle school (with parental consent) and up are welcome! To RSVP please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/6pLD9aPkJadUTAq49

Please RSVP no later than noon on February 25, 2021. A secure link will be sent with the prompts for the exchange next week.
