Summary
Research shows that sharing and listening to stories can improve individual health, educate and mobilize communities, and inspire people to take action for change. Since 1999, StoryCenter’s Silence Speaks initiative has been exploring how first-person storytelling and participatory media practices can support health and human rights efforts around the world.
In this webinar, Silence Speaks co-founder Amy Hill will discuss the theoretical underpinnings, methods, and impacts of Silence Speaks’ work with adolescent survivors of sexual violence, and create space for questions and discussion about how members of the RISE Learning Network can more effectively integrate storytelling into their efforts on behalf of children and youth affected by sexual exploitation. We will also explore the utility of working with personal stories and Story Circles as a methodology for qualitative evaluation.
