Participate in helping us build an archives of Frederick County’s citizen stories – and beyond to the entire 100 mile radius from the Washington White House through –
The “Official” New Horizons Small "Zones Of Peace" Storytelling Collection
Partnering with StoryCorps’ “Listening Is An Act Of Love” Project
FAQ: Why Frederick County?
Answer: Because we have chosen Frederick County, Maryland as our model small “zone of peace.” But a “zone of peace can be anywhere!
How you can participate –
1. Find yourself a storytelling peace buddy.
(The deal here is that you partner with someone who: 1. Has the StoryCorps app; 2. Will listen to your story and record it for our archives, connected to the StoryCorps archives at the Library of Congress.)
2. Attend one or more of the New Horizons Storytelling Workshops Series. (See details on our separate “Storytelling Workshop Series” information sheet.)
3. Invite us to present one or more of the segments of our Storytelling Workshop Series to your family, friends, community, group or organization. (With this option you can become your own StoryCorps Community. We will show you how.)

Storytelling Workshop Series:
A Vehicle For Overcoming Today’s Social and Political Polarization
Join us at our storytelling, story “listening” workshops! We will–
- Help you learn to be an interesting storyteller;
- Help you learn to be an eager and curious listener of the stories of others;
- Help you develop the skill of using your storytelling – and – “listening” skills to go beyond polarization to be a community bridge-builder (also with your family, friends and work associates);
- Teach you how and why “leaning in” and dialogue rather than debate work to build healthier communities;
- Provide you with a non-partisan, supportive environment within which to discuss and sort out some of the stress our current social and political climate may be causing you.
