Pathways: A true story series

Pathways exists to bring the people together and create more intimate connections through story.

This first came into existence with a local event. Each month six locals shared a story from their lives on a particular theme. Story helps us remember how much we have in common with one another, helps promote our wonderful diversity and helps tackle prejudice.

Since the pandemic, Pathways is now hosted live on Linkedin, with speakers drawn from members of the platform

I will post links to upcoming events here. That is usually a couple of weeks ahead of the event.

The past and future of Pathways

Initially face to face in Surbiton, each month 5-6 people shared a story from their lives on a specific theme.

I hope to restart the face to face events in some format over the second half of 2022.
