SUMMARY:Free Workshop. “Family Stories: How and Why to Remember and Tell Them”
DESCRIPTION:Telling personal and family stories is fun – and it connects strangers\, strengthens links between generations\, and gives children the self-knowledge to carry them through hard times. Knowledge of family history has even been linked to better teen behavior and mental health. In this interactive workshop\, storyteller Jo Radner shares foolproof ways to mine memories and interview relatives for meaningful stories. Participants will practice finding\, developing\, and telling their own tales. Friday 17 April 2026. 1:00-3:00 pm. Limit: 26 participants. The Landing\, Olsen Student Center\, University of Maine at Farmington. FMI: joradner.com/oral-history Sponsored by Western Maine Storytelling and ArtsFarmington. Participants must register.
