The Use of Stories to Build a Sense of Family and Cultural Identity and Pride
*Times listed are in EST
Stories have a phenomenal power to change our world view and empower us to have a strong sense of identity and pride. Stories can also be used as a way to reconcile and heal from trauma and understand our past to re-imagine our future. There is power in sharing your personal stories - the power to build connection, the power to inspire and even the power to get your kids to listen. In this session, our presenters will support families in utilizing the tool of storytelling as a way to give power back to the untold stories and the stories we want to tell to define our families. Through personal reflection, small and whole group conversation, participants will consider the power of their family stories and utilize them as a way to build family and cultural identity and pride. This workshop is for anyone who loves to listen to or tell stories, everyone who wants to make a meaningful impact with their words, and everyone who says they don't have anything interesting to share.
Facilitators: Devan Sandiford, Jason Fulford
