Centre for Social Innovation and Storytelling Event

events manager: And when you have people who are both willing to share and willing to listen, it really opens doors, according to Toronto Star. I think one of the most radical things we can do is to speak our truth and empower others to do the same. It really amazing how little we value vulnerability, she said. With that in mind, Kang, the 25-year-old events manager at the Centre for Social Innovation, started what she calls her passion project — Stories of Ours — a storytelling event, which was designed initially to recount the experiences of immigrants and newcomers to the city. Every couple of months, Kang hosts a storytelling event where people — young and old, rich and poor, newcomers and native-born Canadians — come and tell a story about something that moves them, something they have experienced. I saw the potential storytelling had in bringing people together who normally would not work together or be together, she said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
