I ask people to write about anything they want\u2014as long as it\u2019s true. When people share their stories, we can explore the connections that make us human. Every day we visit work, school, cities, and businesses. We sit next to one another on trains, on buses and in cars. We take care of our families and friends, and of ourselves. Every day, we choose what we expose to one another.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sharing stories helps us learn about each other, and in turn, about ourselves. For a moment, it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a business person, a student, a homeless person, a secretary, a teacher, a child, a doctor, a traveler, a mother or a father\u2014we all share something common. We can be people and we can invite those around us in, and for a moment, we can share something real. Every person that you pass on the street has a story to share. We are all just waiting for the right time for someone else to listen. \u2013<\/em> a note from The Strangers Project founder, Brandon Doman<\/p>\n<p>The project will be stopping by the<a href=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/collaboratory\/\"> Collaboratory <\/a>from <strong>11-6 on Saturday, September 10th,<\/strong> offering participants\u00a0an opportunity to share their stories and engage with\u00a0the narratives of their\u00a0peers.<\/p>\n<p>More information on The Strangers Project can be found<a href=\"http:\/\/strangersproject.com\/\"> here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; As our first event of the 2o16-17 academic\u00a0year, CAAD is pleased to welcome The Strangers Project on Saturday 9\/10 at the Collaboratory, 11am to 6pm.
