Abstract
Stories matter; what we tell and share matters. Stories are part of our identity. We are never alone if we have stories. Stories travel through time and space. We can share our struggles – our joys - it connects us as human beings. Stories allow us to unlock and share our truth, our essence – they breathe life into the air and into us. But many stories remain hidden and cloaked in silence. Dominant narratives have historically privileged a specific ideological viewpoint to the detriment of others; stories that are silenced serve a dominant culture in its labelling and “othering” of often marginalised voices and communities. Sharing narratives offers us different and more nuanced landscapes of the world and has the power to connect us to each other. It allows us to learn from each other’s experiences and it can unite, shape, strengthen, or challenge our world views, beliefs, values and opinions.
