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.

我们的愿景是建立这样一个世界：所有人都因自己的身份而受到赞誉，扎根于我们的集体传统，并有权做出积极的改变。桥接历史的创造性变革者网络和咨询将为社区建设、社区投资和积极变革提供工具，吸引各个社会和政治领域的人们。这笔资金将为持续开展的企业奠定基础，我们预计该企业将在财务上实现自我维持，并产生持久而深远的影响。我们的资源将支持希望解决社会问题的个人、基层社区、公共部门和私营部门组织挑战和历史不公正，同时使社区团结在一起。通常，组织都不敢尝试变革，因为害怕出错。如果他们确实尝试改变，他们通常会以自上而下的方式进行，对当地意义和需求的多样性不敏感，最终导致不适合当地。与此同时，在社区层面，个人往往对当地的需求有独特的见解，并希望为创建更加公正、和谐的社区做出自己的贡献，但可能会发现自己被排除在决策之外，无法获得资源和支持来支持自己的生活。 “桥接历史”为构建包容性社区提供独特、连贯的框架，对不同社会群体具有吸引力，从而使社区能够应对这些挑战。我们标志性的六个创意提示（“我来自”诗歌和讲故事、食谱、街头历史、家族史、纪念馆和变革）基于图像且有趣，让人们参与其中既愉快又具有治疗作用。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革。
