History of our story/conversation groups
“We don’t want to teach the story. We want the story to motivate people to hear their own voice.”
-- Sarah Hirschman, People & Stories founder● People and Stories video (5 min)
● Based on Paulo Friere’s theory of Liberating Education
● http://www.peopleandstories.net/ for partnering or grants
The basics (once you have a group):
BEFORE PROGRAM:
● Find a short story that you can read in 10-30 minutes, and practice reading it.
● Develop questions to encourage conversation
DURING THE PROGRAM:
● Read the story to group (aloud) - giving everyone a copy of the story so they can follow along.
● Discuss the story
Now it’s time for a story!
