During the winter of 2020, the NCUFY Coalition Youth Group took part in the Conversations that Move Us Forward project. Working with project leader Vince Canziani, participants decided to focus on stories of success as a way to build connectedness and resilience.
Participants developed interview questions and interviewed one another to learn about how everyone has a success story, even if those stories don’t all look the same or take the same path.
In the spring of 2020, Senior Experience intern Nicholas Kuhn edited the recordings to create short podcasts of the youth stories. Senior Experience Intern Pranay Talla interviewed Vince Canziani to help listeners better understand the project and the resulting podcasts. The resulting set of podcasts are below.
