Since 2014, more than 1,000 people have exchanged letters through the project. Everyone is invited to participate – whatever your age, your place of residence, or your circum- stances, Dear Stranger wants to hear from you. Here’s how to participate: 1. Write a letter. Address it “Dear Stranger.” Fill a page or two, or more if you feel inspired. If you’d like, feel free to include a photo or a drawing or a recipe – any- thing that will fit in an envelope. You can write about anything you like. Here’s a prompt to get you started: For this Dear Stranger round, write about what lies beyond the here and now. When you think of the future, what do you see? Think about your- self, your life, your surroundings, the world in gen- eral: What are your hopes, your dreams? What are your fears? Do you see parts of the past, or some- thing completely new – or perhaps both? 2. Complete the Dear Stranger release form (https:// www.tfaforms.com/4921878). We cannot exchange letters without a release. 3. Mail your letter by February 28, 2022, to: Dear Stranger c/o Oregon Humanities 610 SW Alder, Suite 1111 Portland, OR 97205 Be sure to write your name and return ad- dress on your envelope so we can match your letter with your release form. When you write to Dear Stranger, your letter will be swapped with one from another writer. They will get your letter; you will get theirs. The exchange is anonymous, and you can share as little or as much information about yourself as you like. Please keep in mind that photos, even ones without people in them, may contain information that could be used to identify you. Dear Stranger is open to everyone, though writers under the age of 18 must have parental consent to participate. Letters are paired at random, though we do our best to match participants with someone out- side of their ZIP code. Oregon Humanities staff read all letters before they are exchanged. Return letters will be mailed to participants in early March 2022. If you have questions about Dear Stranger, contact programs@oregonhumanities.org.

If you meet those of different race and color from yourself, do not mistrust them...Think of them as different colored roses growing in the beautiful garden of humanity, and rejoice to be among them.” --Bahai Writings.
