We are known for not avoiding working in conflict zones. For example, we have initiated several projects in conflict areas, where we, for example, train Israelis and Palestinians in telling their stories in order to initiate or improve the dialogue between the two groups.
In the Netherlands (and beyond) we also organise annual storytelling trainings of a week for young people who are in conflict situations and we work on bridging generation gaps and on cohesion in different neighbourhoods.
With the above projects, people are in situations where our help is urgently needed. But because we want to change sustainably, we also use our storytelling training as a preventive measure to stimulate diversity. The Living Library is a good example of this.
