Street Talk

StreetTalk

Street Talk is a community cohesion project based in Brinsworth, Rotherham. It creates spaces for local people to share their stories and talk about their connection to the place they live. Voz partners on the project alongside Refugee Council, Who is Your Neighbour and MESH Mediation Sheffield. 

 

Since 2019 we have been working within the community to connect people to each other and their environment through a range of arts activities including creative writing,  scavenger hunts and mapping local and global connections. 

 

We are excited to be restarting our work in Brinsworth in 2021 to resume the storytelling project that was postponed due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

"Although me and my neighbour can't communicate very well verbally, we are trying to connect and make more of an effort with each other because, you know, it's just common manners isn't it really. Just say hi and make sure they're ok."
