At AARP, we understand the power of storytelling. A good story will inspire, educate, and entertain. It is often through their stories that our members pass down traditions, share life lessons, and connect with loved ones. The stories of our AARP Latino members are reflected among the collective experience of an entire community, connected through a unique cultural identity.
Join AARP Massachusetts for the online event The Power of YOUR Stories – Hispanic Heritage Celebration Monday, October 25, 2021 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
The Power of YOUR Stories, moderated by AARP MA Executive Council Member Jorge Quiroga, and a retired award-winning television journalist, is a celebration of the value of stories from the Massachusetts Hispanic/Latino/Latinx community, and their contribution to the American tapestry.
Panelists, including iconic radio host Jose Masso will weave stories, connected to caregiving, food, family, and more. Participants will come away feeling empowered to share their own story with a loved one using the StoryCorps Connect app, with the option of it being uploaded to the United States Library of Congress for researchers, students, journalists and others to learn more about the Latino culture of Massachusetts.
This program will be translated into Spanish and will take place on Zoom.
More information on Vivan las Voces
AARP is thrilled to announce that in collaboration with StoryCorps, AARP has launched “Vivan Las Voces” (Long live the voices), a national audio story collection project dedicated to capturing the diverse stories and experiences of the U.S. Latino community.
“Vivan Las Voces is an opportunity for AARP to honor the rich history and culture of the Latino community by helping to preserve their stories for future generations,” said Mike Festa, AARP Massachusetts State Director. “These stories are invaluable pieces of history that offer first-hand insight into the Latino culture in the United States. From family history and cultural traditions to personal successes and challenges, everyone has a story, and every story matters equally. We are excited to work with StoryCorps on this program and look forward to documenting a piece of the Latino experience, one story at a time.”
Stories are captured through a conversation format, typically person-to-person, and participation is easy, fun, and rewarding. You simply invite a loved one, or anyone else you choose, to join you on the free StoryCorps Connect online video conferencing platform to share a 40-minute conversation.
Recordings will not only be available for participants to cherish and pass down, but the audio and a photo from each conversation also will be archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. As such, the collection of content from Vivan Las Voces will preserve in history a primary source perspective of the U.S. Latino experience through the powerful medium of storytelling.
Participation in Vivan Las Voces is open to anyone interested in capturing something special about a loved one’s life through the easy-to-use StoryCorps platform. Conversations can be recorded in English, Spanish, or a mix of the two today by visiting www.storycorpsconnect.org.
