Rural Vermont Wants to Hear from YOU: Two Opportunities to Share Your Story
LISTENING IN PLACE: A COLLABORATION WITH THE VERMONT FOLKLIFE CENTER
We are excited about collaborating with the Vermont Folklife Center on their new project, Listening in Place––a way to record and hear Vermonters’ personal experiences of coping with the COVID pandemic and general state of the world. This is a great opportunity for farmers to share their stories and we encourage you to do so! All you need is phone/internet connection and one hour for a remote interview. Please contact Mollie if you are interested.
"FARMER VOICES IN HEALTHCARE" TESTIMONIAL PROJECT
In 2018, healthcare was identified as a top concern amongst Rural Vermont's community. In response, we’re helping to bring the voices of the agricultural community to policy makers and are working in collaboration and across sectors to bring light to healthcare as an integral issue for all, particularly the working lands community.
We are-launching our "Farmer Voices in Healthcare" Testimonial Project. Over the next few weeks, we are gathering short audio testimonials from the working lands community about their experiences with healthcare, or lack thereof, from all around the state––a particularly relevant issue now in light of COVID-19. Audio recordings will be used on Rural Vermont's website, social media, potential radio broadcast, and shared with legislators. Even if you would prefer to remain anonymous, we still want to hear from you!
