Thank you!
INTRODUCTION
This exploration eventually led to an examination of students' personal stories, through the lens of Conflict Transformation. Through research, storytelling, dialogue, and performance, students reflected on personal, relational, structural, and cultural dimensions of their experiences with race.
Students' final project involved the development of several theatre pieces based on their own experiences.
These scenes are intended to provoke reflection and conversation.
We invite you to watch, read, and join the conversation.
