The ability to listen is a skill we can practice on National Day of Listening, which is the day after Thanksgiving on November 26, a day to get away from the chaos of the world, just to relax, hear, and be heard. It’s an unofficial day to practice listening, encouraging us to make time to record our family and local community stories. Since good listeners fight off depression and gain more familiarity with other people of different backgrounds, listening is highly recommended.

National Day of Listening was launched by the national oral history project StoryCorps in 2008. The goal of the Day of Listening is to share the stories of diverse people to connect them to their society. It falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day, so it is the perfect extension for friends and families to spend time together.
National Day of Listening helps us spread genuine insight across cultures and generations, giving us a beneficial connection and vision that we can pass on to coming generations.
