Our vision is a world where all people feel celebrated for who they are, rooted in our collective heritage, and empowered to make a positive change. The Bridging Histories' creative change maker network and consultancy will provide a vehicle for community-building, community investment, and positive changemaking, that appeals to people across the social and political spectrum. This funding will secure the foundations for an ongoing enterprise which we expect will become financial self-sustaining, with long-lasting and far-reaching impact.Our resources will support individuals, grassroots communities, public sector and private sector organisations who want to address social challenges and historical injustices while bringing communities together. Often, organisations are too scared to attempt changes, for fear of getting things wrong. If they do attempt changes, they often do so in ways that are top-down, not sensitive to the diversity of local meanings and needs, and end up not being locally appropriate. Meanwhile, at community level, individuals often have unique insights on what is needed locally and want to make their own contribution to creating more just and harmonious communities, but can find themselves blocked out of decision-making and unable to access resources and support for their ideas.Bridging Histories enables communities to addresses these challenges by offering a unique, coherent framework for building inclusive community, with appeal across diverse social groups. Our signature six creative prompts ('I am from' poetry and storytelling, recipes, street histories, family histories, memorials and changemaking) are image-based and fun, making it enjoyable and therapeutic for people to join in with them. Our methods will enable people to build community, generate unexpected insights and mutual understanding, and support creative local and global changemaking.

我们的愿景是一个世界，所有人都为自己的身份而感到庆祝，植根于我们的集体遗产，并有权做出积极的改变。桥接历史的创造性变革制造商网络和咨询公司将为社区建设，社区投资和积极的改变提供一种工具，吸引了整个社会和政治领域的人们。这笔资金将确保正在进行的企业的基础，我们期望这将成为财务上的自我维持，并具有持久的影响力。通常，组织太害怕尝试更改，因为害怕会弄错问题。如果他们确实尝试更改，他们通常会以自上而下的方式进行操作，而对当地含义和需求的多样性不敏感，最终不适合本地。同时，在社区层面上，个人经常对需要当地需要的东西有独特的见解，并希望为创建更多公正和和谐的社区做出贡献，但可以发现自己被阻止了决策，无法获得资源和支持他们的想法。培养历史使社区能够通过为建立跨越包含社会的社区提供独特的，一致的框架来解决这些挑战，以应对这些挑战，以解决这些挑战。我们的签名六个创意提示（“我来自”诗歌和讲故事，食谱，街头历史，家庭历史，纪念馆和改变的诗歌）是基于图像和乐趣的，使人们可以与他们一起加入它。我们的方法将使人们能够建立社区，产生意想不到的见解和相互理解，并支持创造性的本地和全球变化。
