Transforming Historical Harms: A Narrative Change Approach to Community/Societal Transformation
Societies are organized in a manner that reflects the combination of dominant narratives, and the narratives that shape our lives are usually invisible or unexamined.
In this upcoming series of workshops, Dr. David Anderson Hooker, a globally-experienced mediator, facilitator, and peacebuilder, offers insights into the roles that narratives play and discover together some practical approaches to pursuit narrative transformation. The workshops will take place on November 18th & 25th and December 2nd. Please note that registration for these workshops has now closed.
The Caux Scholars Program and the Global Alumni Initiative (GAIN) have come together to host this online workshop, led by Dr. David Anderson Hooker. The series explores insights into the roles that narratives play in societal transformation, and helps the audience to discover together some practical approaches for pursuing narrative transformation.
“Narratives give meaning to systems and distribute power among groups. True societal transformation requires more than personal improvement, relational change or even system reform. It requires long term commitment to narrative transformation.”
