The StoryCorps Mobile Booth will be in Orlando in partnership with WMFE from January 1st to Feburary 6th.
The Mobile Booth will be located at the Orlando Museum of Art.
Here are some important dates to keep in mind:
Saturday, January 5th (1/5): Opening Day Event at the Orlando Museum of Art
Thursday, January 31st (1/31): Story Project Workshop
Be sure to keep an eye on our community partner calendar to stay up-to-date on events and other information during our time in Orlando.
Each organization we partner with will dedicate a point-person who is in charge of booking appointments for participants. We will email you the link to our advance calendar so that you can book appointments before they go public. It is very important that you enter contact information for BOTH participants, so that we can contact them to confirm their appointments.
Once you've booked appointments for your participants, our Mobile Team will contact each participant to talk through the StoryCorps recording process, give them details about location and parking, and answer any questions they may have. If point people would like to give participants more details about StoryCorps before we call them, we recommend taking a look at our What to Expect page and reading through our list of Great Questions to help participants get an idea of what they might want to talk about during a recording.
Participants are welcome to talk about the organizations they are recording on behalf of, but they do not have to. You can talk about anything you would like during your 40-minute recording. Many participants find it meaningful to discuss an experience they went through or talk about how they might know their partner. We don't look for anything specific in a recording; this is a chance for participants to talk about something important to them that they would like to document.
