What is the Storytelling Circle?
What is the Storytelling Circle?
The Storytelling Circle endeavors to collectively build the power of marginalized community members to tell their own food stories, shifting cultural narratives toward the life-giving, community-led food system we envision.
Through storytelling workshops, led by and for underrepresented community members, and rooted in humanities methodologies, the project, Share Your Story, Change Your Community, will create the opportunity for people to learn, make meaning, reflect, and practice being in their power.

Share Your Story, Change Your Community
Stories are all around us and we each have one (or many!). Stories are powerful - they help us connect, learn, and imagine new possibilities for our communities and our lives.
The Hampshire County Food Policy Council invites you to share a story about your food experiences during the pandemic! Stories will be recorded and stored in a Community Story Archive.
