StoryCorpsConnect with Lake Erie Ink
Saturday May 2 & 16 | 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
StoryCorps Connect–Learn how to use StoryCorps Connect to interview someone important to you but whom you are unable to see during this time of distancing. In this all ages/intergenerational program, participants will learn interviewing skills, prepare for their interview, then have two weeks to complete their interview. During the second session, participants will share their interviews and reflect on the process. Participants are encouraged (but not required) to register with family members who can team up for the interviews.
Facilitated by Cynthia Larsen:
Word and world-loving, singing chicken farmer.
