DU Story Mosaic Fall 2023 Event: Sharing Stories: Building Community

We are excited to officially launch the ‘DU Story Mosaic: Sharing Stories, Building Community,’ a storytelling initiative at DU! The DU Story Mosaic is a cross-campus collaboration that recognizes the incredible power of storytelling. Modeled after the Human Library and building on our C+V Community Voices work, this initiative aims to bring together the entire DU Community to engage in a meaningful exchange of our unique stories. Our hope is that community members listen, learn from each other, and practice reflection to experience personal growth in the process. We also seek to inspire change within our organization through storytelling.  

The DU Story Mosaic will offer participants the opportunity to share stories through a variety of creative expressions, such as one-on-one and group conversations, spoken word, art, and poetry, both publicly and anonymously, to cultivate an embodied community experience where everyone can feel safe to be vulnerable and their authentic selves.  

Join us for our Fall Quarter launch event (details below). We invite any DU community member to join us for the event! Attendees can either share a story as a storyteller or RSVP as a listener participant.

The Theme this year is: What has been your path to DU? What brought you to DU and what does DU mean to you? Any stories may be shared.

Storyteller Logistic Details: If you want to be a storyteller, we would be honored! You can share a story that is between 5 – 10 minutes each. Storytellers can share any story that they would like around the theme.
