There’s a new group offering an old school form of social connection — no screens required. These aren’t Luddites or anti-tech militias, they’re millennials. And they just want to listen.
They’re called Urban Confessional: A Free Listening Project, and you’ll know them when you see them. They carry simple, handmade signs that promise “Free Listening”.
“We listen for others … We listen for ourselves.”
The idea is catching fire. Every day, groups of volunteers across the country set out in their free time to provide something we could all use a little more of – a friendly smile, an open heart and deep, earnest listening.
