In an earlier entry, I noted the International Day for Sharing Life Stories (May 16). One of the major sponsors of that day is the Museum of the Person, which has branches in the US (Indiana), Canada, Brazil, and Portugal. The US site notes that it is dedicated to “strengthening community through storysharing.” The site goes on to say:
This site commemorates and celebrates the lives of people from all walks of life – those who give heft to the fabric of our community through their daily work, play, traditions and dreams.
This is a place to share your story with family and community. We welcome you and invite you to share with us.
The museum offers individual stories and a form for submitting one’s own story. Hmmmm…. the form asks for one’s connection with Indiana. What if one doesn’t have a connection?
