Vermont Public is proud to once again participate in StoryCorps’ One Small Step initiative and we invite you to learn more, build community and get inspired at our Colchester studios on Wednesday, November 20th.
Meet Vermont Public’s One Small Step facilitators, hear conversations with Vermonters from different backgrounds, and meet them to find out more about their experiences. Hosted by Mikaela Lefrak and recorded for a future episode of Vermont Edition.
Join us early for pizza and a short training opportunity to learn the techniques needed to convene a conversation between folks with different backgrounds.
One Small Step brings people with different views together to record a conversation — not to debate politics — but simply to get to know each other as people. The initiative hopes to combat the polarizing effects of news and social media just by talking to each other one-on-one again. Because when we approach each other with curiosity, we realize we have more in common than we think.
