Help Shape Our Story: Contribute to our ISHF 2025 Submission 

We are thrilled to announce that the European Federation for Living and Eurhonet are submitting a joint application to host a seminar at the International Social Housing Festival (ISHF) in Dublin in June. The event will showcase how storytelling is driving transformative change in social housing across Europe and we want you to be part of it.

Storytelling is a central theme for the EFL Social Topic Group, highlighting how sharing experiences can amplify voices, foster collaboration and create thriving communities.

Our proposed seminar will feature:

·      Three short videos, produced specifically for the ISHF, highlighting the perspectives of residents, staff and key stakeholders

·      Panel discussions and Q&A sessions with residents, practitioners and academics

·      A celebration of how storytelling fosters collaboration, amplifies voices and drives meaningful change

We are also planning a workshop and site visit exclusively for EFL and Eurhonet members. This will be a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, explore resident co-production and contribute directly to the seminar’s outputs.

How can I get involved?

We want your voices and ideas to shape the event. Here’s how you can get involved:

·       Speaker/Presenter Ideas: Do you know someone who would be a great fit for the seminar? Let us know!

·       Video Contributions: Have a video that aligns with our themes of collaboration and co-production, or interested in producing one? Send it to us and we’ll handle the editing

·       Join the Conversation: Share your insights and suggestions to help shape the event

Please send your ideas, videos, or suggestions to john.stevens@clarionhg.com and jennifer.cuthbert@radiushousing.org by 14th February. If you have questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out
