WCSAP Annual Conference: Building Bridges

Telling Our Own Story: Power of Storytelling for Prevention and Culture Change

Writing and sharing our true personal stories have the power to build empathy, bring our communities together, create ongoing culture change, and strengthen prevention efforts. Using storytelling, we can transform the ways we engage our diverse communities across all generations in ending gender violence and other forms of oppression experienced by marginalized groups. In this interactive keynote presentation, an independent gender and social justice consultant and trained storyteller Dr. Meghna Bhat will shed light on why and how storytelling can be used as a creative and culturally relevant tool, the process, and its benefits to us and our communities. Using examples, she will offer practical advice on how to think about their own journeys and feel empowered to write their stories as agents of culture change, while learning to be active and compassionate listeners. She will also provide resources for facilitating and implementing written, oral (spoken) and digital storytelling activities in your own circles and communities.
