“You shouldn’t just be learning from a textbook. You should be learning from the very people you’re going to serve.”

Narrative 4's Lee Keylock recently spoke to Mark Swartz at Aging in America about how stories can help bridge generational gaps, building the foundation for deeper understanding and inspiring civic engagement.

One recent intergenerational Story Exchange program brought together residents at an assisted living home for older residents in New Haven with high school and college students training to work with older people. For a deep dive into the program, delivered in collaboration with @artsideasct, @chathamplacemw and @borrowmyglasses, read the full story at the link in our bio!

New Episode! Check out this excellent conversation recorded live at the @artsideasct International Festival of Arts & Ideas about the positive impact of raising shellfish and recycling shells to restore our ocean. Listen at TheTableUnderground.com (link in bio), on any podcasting app, and at @wpkn89.5 Community Radio.

Oysters and Quahog clams are a native heritage food and vital to indigenous tribal cultures along the shorelines, they capture carbon and each filter 50 gallons of water a day. Oysters secure our shoreline, are delicious to eat, and can be a good source of income for farmers and communities - but none of this happens without dedicated people, good policies, funding, and long term support.

Tune in to hear some wisdom being dropped about all of this and more by ocean farmers Vernon Buddy Pocknett of the First Light @mashpeewampanoag Tribe farm, Beth Simonds of @stonington.farms.shellfish and Tim Macklin of @corr_shell_recycling 🦪🦪💙💙 Great appreciations to @robyn_doyon_aitken for her fabulous editing and @ctpublic for supporting this episode as well as Tiffany Hopkins for producing the event!

PART IV — ASCENSION: The Story Behind the Leadership.
Moderated by Caela Collins, this conversation centers Black women who hold significant leadership roles across New Haven’s institutions and communities.
Their accolades are visible. Their ascension stories are not always heard. This conversation creates space for what shaped them, what sustained them, what they are building now, and how the community can build the trust, partnership, and support needed to help that work go further.
This is beyond networking. It is trust-building.
August 13 · 5–8 PM · SKIRO Studios. Free RSVP — scan the QR on the flyer or hit the link in bio.
