The VBP Conversation Cards were created to empower those interested in capturing and preserving the stories of the Vietnamese community. The kit is designed to be a fun activity for two people, a small group or an entire family. It includes a set of questions in four categories to help spark the conversation, a list of major historical events to provide context and the basics on how to record the conversations to preserve it.
A CONVERSATION JOURNAL was created to help you jot down all the great stories you'll hear by starting with just one questions. This journal has been a year in the making! Feedback from the community motivated us to make this journal and so many hands and hearts made it come to life! Together with the VBP conversation cards, the kit can help open the dialogue with family and friends to capture individual diaspora stories.
