The Stories Within

About

Crowdsourcing stories for social connection

Currently emptied of people, neighborhoods are an essential part of community life and sense of belonging. . A digital platform, Stories Within encourages people to share audio stories related to specific locations in a neighborhood, mapped onto a VR setting. It proposes the use of storytelling to keep neighbors connected and allows the virtual exploration of new places through someone else's personal stories.
