The Reintegration Puzzle Story Portal

A Remodelled Pay Phone to Bridge Gaps and Foster Understanding

This remodelled pay phone, debuting at the Reintegration Puzzle Conference in Sydney, is designed to reshape narratives around reintegration and foster meaningful connections between conference participants, organisers and the community.

How It Works

  • Pick Up the Receiver: Engage with the phone as you would with any pay phone.
  • Leave a Message: Share your thoughts about the conference, tell a story, or offer words of support.
  • Secure and Confidential: Your messages are recorded securely, ensuring your privacy.

What to do

  • Pick up the receiver.
  • Breathe deeply.
  • Count to ten.
  • Leave your message.

The Story Portal is more than a communication tool. It's a platform for challenging and changing negative perceptions surrounding reintegration by sharing their stories of growth and rehabilitation.

This is Part 1 of an ongoing series exploring the intersection of personal transformation and systemic change. A Curious Tractor exists to create spaces for this kind of collective reimagining—working with organisations and communities ready to move beyond fixing broken systems toward building entirely new ones.
