The Can We? Project brings story exchange to Cape Elizabeth community

Inspired by their work with Waynflete’s Can We? Project and partners at Narrative 4, Can We? students at Cape Elizabeth High School recently led a multigenerational story exchange for members of the community at Thomas Memorial Library. The story exchange is a foundational aspect of the Can We? process, allowing participants to deepen relationships and practice “radical empathy.” In a reflection after the event, one participant shared, “I didn’t know anyone coming in tonight. Now I can’t wait to run into everyone at the grocery store so I can say hi.”

Interested in participating in a story exchange? Waynflete Can We? Project students are planning to host a story exchange for the school community. Additional information will follow soon.
