Recap on Climate Stories Event at COP 26

Our partners

The platform to make certain stories to be told more often by giving people the stage is an innovative idea and I can only support it. I believe it has great potential to create societal value for everyone. Connecting different people is something, we at Care4Bones regard as equally important. We firmly believe that we are always stronger together.

The project encourages people to share more than a single story, to reflect on stories they hear and to enrich their storytelling. The fact that the platform got a lot of attention in our network shows how important the topic is for a diverse global community.

By educating myself with second stories, it creates more layers and depth to different people, different cultures, different members of society. I hope many more people will share their second stories, so that many more people get the chance to learn that there is always more than one view on people, on life. Everyone is different, everyone is unique. Let's not deny, but celebrate and embrace!

About SpreadSecondStories

Second Stories is the platform to start introducing oneself with ‘secondly,’ a platform to get to know people through multiple stories that they, themselves, find to accurately describe their identity, complexity, and humanity.

A Second Story is every story that a Single Story leaves out. These stories add to the completeness and complexity of the person that the Single Story fails to describe.

With many Second Stories, we aim to find ourselves with multi-facetted stories.
