Story Café: Where Diversity Meets Social Safety

Step into a warm, welcoming space designed for genuine connection. Inspired by Nora Bateson’s Warm Data Lab meeting methodologies from the Art of Hosting, our Story Café moves away from statistics, precise solutions and rigid debates to explore the messy, beautiful and complex intersections of diversity and social safety through the power of human storytelling. 

We will provide the space and you are invited to bring your stories. 

Grab a cup of tea or coffee, pull up a chair and join a table. Each table features a unique prompt designed to spark fresh perspectives, allowing you to share personal experiences, listen deeply, and wander between conversations - and allow ideas to cross-pollinate. There are no right answers or forced conclusions here - we aim to create a fluid environment to look at our culture through diverse lenses. Come share your story, hear others and help us weave a stronger, more inclusive university community.
