20/8/24: 'Theatre of Witness' founder, Teya Sepinuck will host an interactive storytelling workshop for members of the Glencree All-Island Women's Peacebuilding Network in an online webinar on Monday 26th August from 4 - 6pm. The webinar is being held as part of the BRIDGE Intergenerational Storytelling project which explores the power of storytelling to support intergenerational connection and learning.

Theater of Witness is a form of testimonial performance that brings people from across the divides together to bear witness to truth, healing and reconciliation. During the online session, Teya will share how she developed Theatre of Witness and will facilitate interactive exercises with Glencree Network members.

The Bridge Intergenerational Storytelling project is a European Solidarity Corps-funded initiative that got underway in 2024. The project was developed and launched by five young members of Glencree's All-Island Women's Peacebuilding Network following their participation in Glencree's Missing Peace: Youth, Peace and Reconciliation project. Inspired by learnings from this project, the group set about developing their own project aimed at fostering connections and understanding across generations, particularly among women, using creative mediums.

Other recent activities of the Bridge project included a Story Exchange Facilitator Training course during August. Eighteen members of Glencree's All-Island Women's Peacebuilding Network participated in the course which was delivered by Narrative4 (N4) facilitators across three modules. At the end of the course, participants were awarded a Certificate and access to a Facilitator Toolkit including lesson plans and story exchanges for use in community settings.
