Stories in the garden . . .
When an Elder dies,
a library burns." ~proverb
building lasting oral legacy in bloomington
The Bloomington Stories Project will continue as an annual event, hosted by the home of Bloomington Stories archive; The Farmer House Museum. The program will be self sustaining with the goal of seeking additional grants as the community awareness of the project grow, seeking to secure the valuable place in preserving the stories of our community.
The parable "When an Elder dies, a library burns." expresses the desire of the Bloomington Stories Project to preserve the stories of our elders. TechHeroes will continue to Bridge the Digital Divide, growing and partnering with others to create solutions. One of the digital equity gaps in which 48% of families felt they were in adequately able to protect their children from online bullying one of the main principles of the Heroic Imagination Project is to mitigate online bullying and other issues of inequality and injustice. TechHeroes began 10 years ago as a pilot program of the Heroic Imagination Project. TechHeroes continues to fortify youth to become technology assets to support the growing technology needs in our community while also instilling the ethics and values of having a Heroic Imagination. The Bloomington Stories and the connections created, can serve as a model for other communities to embrace technology as a basic need, fortifying the community with technology access and skills as well as giving lasting voice to the stories in our community.
