LESSONS: Stories that connect from Stories Connect

Stories Connect, founded by Mary Stephenson, uses literature to help people view their past and future lives in alternative and more positive ways. Typically, participants attend ten weekly two hour sessions and, during that time, an eclectic mix of poetry, short stories, novel extracts and film are used to inspire the group to read, talk and write. An atmosphere of trust, mutual respect and support develops between the participants and the facilitators across the programme. Lessons emerged out of an experiment. In 2011- 2012 some of us wanted to go beyond the usual remit of the course and write collaboratively. Each writer invented and developed a character. Then, through an imaginary event, we brought our characters together. We discussed, debated and created ‒ then we wrote. Some of us had never written a story or poem before, some of us had read and written lots and, perhaps what this book reveals best, and why we wanted it published, is to show how the process of writing brought us together. The result, this book, proves that stories and poems can unite people at all levels, regardless of age, background, ethnicity or past histories. In the process of creating we encountered the unexpected and overcame challenges and, it has to be said, we laughed lots!
