The Story Line: In response to the fact that many of his neighbours were shielding and didn’t have access to new technologies, Mark developed an analogue way of communicating with them. He set up a telephone line in which they could ring and hear a different story everyday.
Participants were also invited to leave a story or a thought to share with their neighbours. This was a way of people who are isolated to hear their neighbours voices. Some collective online story telling sessions were also delivered to help encourage conversation between people shielding who potentially had very little human interaction over lock down.
