Day Two: Telling Our Stories
Essential Question:
What is my story and how does it connect to your story?
Objective:
The workshop begins with a self-awareness exercise. It is important throughout the process of telling and sharing that learners take time to check in with their own emotions and feelings before they share with others. The workshop introduces personal story sharing through visual representation, learners’ responses to the video Beyond the River, and through other practical activities. The workshop
will also allow learners to make visual connections with the experiences of their classmates.
The learners will come out seeing that there are far more things we have in common with others than differences.
