International Workshop: The Evaluation of Story-Telling as a Peace-Building Mechanism

The White Horse Hotel, Derry / Londonderry

Wednesday 22 September - Friday 24 September 2010

Thank you for your interest in this international workshop. This high level session aims to establish a tool for the effective evaluation of story-telling as a peace-building methodology.

It is an ambitious and important objective, and so we have restricted our guest list to forty people with experience in story-telling in peace-building and/or evaluation of peace-building. Admission to the event is by invitation only.

Local experts will be joined by international experts in the fields of story-telling and evaluation, and interaction between the evaluators and the story-telling practitioners will take place in semi-formal and informal groups. The lessons will be captured on record, published and later shared at a seminar.

The workshop is being organised by Irish Peace Centres (IPC) in partnership with INCORE, and funded by the Peace III Programme.
