Celebrating Stories

[Patricia Haines]

Andrew:
We don't have a proposal for your Conference, but - you asked for stories about stories; and I know my colleages (above) would love to know more about what you're up to with your Stories.
 
The Center for Environmental Sustainability has hosted a Earth Day celebration for Ithaca, NY for the past 12 years. For 2010, we are shifting gears, and rather than a centralized 'green' expo-type event, we're inviting communities throughout our county to create their own celebrations grounded by informal gatherings to share their own stories about the roles their land and local environment have played in their own and their families' lives. 
 
We know there is a lot of wisdom to be gained from such stories - from young as well as old. Local historians, librarians, community associations, churches and other groups are coming forward with their own ideas - and we hope it will become an annual tradition.
 
Will information from your conference be available on completion? I'd love to learn more.

Dear All,

Many of you know how much Story plays a role in Open Space... And some of
you may remember our last Story Conference...

In preparation for the next Celebrating Story Conference this is a call to
all and any who have a passion around Story to put in a proposal for the
next conference scheduled for October 7th and 8th 2010.

The theme is "Celebrating Story: Bringing People and Work to Life" and we
are seeking proposals around 5 main areas, those being:

Leading and learning with story
Working with culture, myth and indigenous story
Authorship and the Ethics of Stories
Different ways of Knowing through Story
Breaking the Silence, Giving Voice and Healing through Story

If you have a passion for working with story in whichever way, and feel you
have an offer - we'd love to hear from you!

This conference aims to provide a rich and diverse range of offerings from
many differing backgrounds.

This call for proposals will close on the 28th February... So to learn more
about the ambience of the "Celebrating Story" conference, its history, as
well as to put up an offer - simply click the link below:
