Storytelling for Peace Building Project

Last month in Cartagena de Indias - Colombia, I visited an inspirational exhibition called - Storytelling for Peace Building,

This project was designed by the British Councils in Colombia and was delivered in partnership with Fundación PLAN, and was done by expert storytellers from the UK with local children, teenagers and young adults. They participated in workshops where they were able to tell their own stories of resilience, forgiveness and positive transformation.

These are some pictures I have taken with my mobile:

This is the display at the entrance, where visitors walk through thoughtful pictures, quotes and projections:

This is a picture of a participant of the project next to a quote attributed to Pythagoras, an ancient Greek Philosopher, that says: "Educate the children and it won't be necessary to punish the men.”
