TheirStories

Building inclusion through storytelling.

TheirStories uses personal storytelling as a vehicle for building workplace inclusion, improving employee engagement, challenging bias, countering stereotypes, and developing a culture of belonging.

Everyone has a story – the experiences that have shaped us – the challenges we have faced and overcome – our successes and our mistakes.  We can all learn something from each other’s story - that is the simple premise for TheirStories.

Created and facilitated by the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Team, TheirStories provides a platform for colleagues across the University to share their personal stories. This is a powerful way to engage colleagues in appreciating the value of difference and also amplifying the things we have in common, creating empathy to bring to life our vision of a truly inclusive workplace where everyone can be their authentic selves.
