Stories of Place
Program Director:
Stories of Place and Mutual Care is an intergenerational, cross-regional storytelling program that focuses on the special places that shape community life in Central Appalachia. We aim to build civic space and community engagement through storytelling, other forms of creative expression, and coming together over a shared commitment to elevating diverse voices both in Appalachia, across the region, and beyond.
This is an important thread tying together all of LiKEN’s work even if it does not always address many issues directly, because Stories of Place creates a space for building relationships across social and political divides as well as across generations.
