Shortening the Road: Using Storytelling for Conflict Resolution
Storytelling can play a vital role in promoting understanding between people of different faiths, nationalities and abilities. This workshop will examine the practical ways in which communities can engage in the sharing of stories which are held by the individuals within them. Based on many storytelling projects which have taken place in Northern Ireland both during the conflict and in the post-conflict years, the lessons learned can be replicated in many other communities worldwide.
