Storytelling for Peace and Renewing Community

The goal of SPARC is to promote knowledge and skills about innovative story-based approaches to conflict resolution, peace-building, and community building; and to serve as a crossroads for peace-builders, storytellers and other artists, educators, and other people working to promote constructive cultural change in their societies and/or in conflict zones.

SPARC is based on the idea that facilitating spaces and methodologies that provide for people to collaboratively define their experiences, identities, and vision for the future is an essential part of global citizenship, deep democracy, and establishing and maintaining peace and social justice.
