Tell me a Story!



“Most of us have stories about home – a past or present home, a home we were forced to leave, a home we want to create. Home is a common denominator that connects us to each other and taps into what matters to each of us”



Those words come from The First Door – a video and now a book describing the experiences of refugees at MCM’s Project Refuge-Maison Haidar.  Liz Miller at Concordia University Communications Department sensed the latent power in the silent stories of refugees, And so one day she and her team came to Maison Haidar  to begin  ‘mapping the memories’  with the residents.



Click here Mapping Memories  to view The First Door: Finding Home in a New Place. If you would like a copy of the video First Door, let us know. And we’d love to hear your thoughts and impressions! How can story telling make this world we live in kinder and more just?
