About this Event

Summertime is perfect to revel in the "magic" of the People & Stories/ Gente y Cuentos method - making connections, transforming lives through literature - one short story at a time!

Hear a stunning, contemporary short story read aloud by P&S/GyC professional Coordinator Jane Scott during this free "Try It" session.

Talk about it. Change your mind. That's the mantra as we engage in deep conversation among people from all walks of life through reading together in community.

All are welcome! Refreshments provided! Space is limited - register today.

Please send any questions prior to the event to Deputy Director Debra Lampert-Rudman at [email protected]


ABOUT PEOPLE & STORIES/ GENTE Y CUENTOS:

People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos (P&S/GyC) is dedicated to opening doors to literature for new audiences. Through oral readings and rigorous discussions of enduring short stories, we invite participants to find fresh understandings of themselves, of others, and of the world.

Our programs, offered in English and Spanish, use oral readings and structured dialogues of complex short stories to invite participants to connect their own varied life experiences to the universal themes found in great literature. Now in its 50th year, our program methodology effectively removes obstacles to the rewards of reading, especially for adults and young adults who identify as not having the skill, confidence, or motivation to read independently.

Our participants include men and women who are incarcerated or engaged in re-entry, residents in halfway houses and homeless shelters, recent immigrants, and low-income seniors in residential settings. By and large, the individuals we serve are reading at or below a 5th grade level, have not completed high-school, or are economically disadvantaged. A critical bridge, People & Stories / Gente y Cuentos provides hope and skills for moving forward.

People and Stories/Gente y Cuentos programs are held at partner sites and other locations throughout the tri state area
