Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Watch a film or listen to the Domino Dialogues podcast, or share a story through the La Historia Colectiva form, which asks for a written memory and an optional photo or video. Questions go to info@somossociety.org..

You can just show up. No sign up needed.

What to expect

A first visit is mostly online: you can watch the films, listen to the Domino Dialogues podcast, and browse the archive. To take part, you can submit a story, which the team reviews before it is posted, or open the Join the Conversation page. The site does not list office hours, so email first if you plan to stop by.

Tips for your first visit

  • Read the release terms before you send a story: the team may edit it, and your name may be published unless you ask to stay anonymous.
  • Use the newsletter sign-up on the home page to hear about new films and conversations.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The films, podcast and archive are open to the public, and the site gives two clear ways to take part. It does not describe a newcomer program or a first-visit routine..
