Stories have power. Stories allow us to see an alternative and tell us tales of people who have been living the same torments and dilemmas since the dawning of mankind. Stories can allow us a change of perspective, and a change of perspective can give us courage, which is a truly wondrous thing.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 2021, Glenys Newton recorded 40 conversations with people across Suffolk in a story relay, where each person nominated the next.<\/p>\n

Around Suffolk in 40 Stories promoted intercultural understanding with a vision of building a society where we welcome difference, sparking dialogue between people from all walks of life, and with the people of Suffolk telling the story of Suffolk.<\/p>\n

You can listen to all these stories on the Around Suffolk in 40 Stories website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy tell our stories? Aren’t we always told not to talk about\u202fourselves growing up? Well, sharing our stories is nothing short of a revolutionary, humanity saving, world spinning thing to do. In a world where we are encouraged to buy STUFF, our stories will last longer than anything we could possibly buy or make.\u202fThey stretch back through all of time and into a future that we do not yet know about. Through our stories we can create a healthier narrative for the future, a wealth that cannot be measured in stocks and shares and GDP.<\/em>
\n <\/p>\n

“By sharing our stories, people make a connection on a very human level, the narrative of the \u2018other\u2019 is broken down as we become more able to walk alongside and share the joy of one another\u2019s stories rather than to fear them.\u202fWe are living in extraordinary times, and we are being fed a narrative of statistics and fear by the media which is simply serving to fuel a mentality of \u2018them and us\u2019. The truth is that there is no them and us, there is only us. We are all the same but gloriously different. As any storyteller will tell you \u2013 \u2018An enemy is simply someone whose story you have not yet heard.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
