Look Back, Move Forward: Dudley Storytelling

The pandemic has changed us all as individuals, as families, as communities. What, if anything, can we build on and take forward with us? Where have people done amazing things? Where have communities come together to help?

We all make sense of our world through the stories we tell. Dudley Council wants to listen and learn from your stories of these times – stories from you, from your neighbours, and your friends and family.

Dawn, Helen, Julie and Clare will be out and about locally over the next few months to meet people who have a story they would like to share. So, if you’d you’d like to talk to us, we’d love to listen!

For more information please contact Helen on helen@ideas-alliance.org.uk or fill in the form below.
