Many of us struggle with understanding our story and our own narrative. We have seen the power of storytelling, it can create change in ourselves as well as the lives of others. The purpose of this course is to help participants become aware of the power that their own narrative holds. This can be both an internal and external process. Sharing your own story can help increase resilience, self-awareness and the ability to understand the world. WON 2021 offered the possibility to share your story with others so that we can collectively inspire change - one story at a time.
