OUR MISSION IS TO EXAMINE WORLD CONFLICT BY DISARMING PEOPLE IN CONFLICT WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF THEIR INNATE ABILITY FOR PERCEPTUAL CHANGE. WORKING NOW WITH CHILDREN IN AN ONGOING, MULTI-YEAR RADIO EXCHANGE PROJECT, WE WORK IN THREE MAIN WAYS: (1) USE THEATER AND STORYTELLING AS A PROCESS TO DEVELOP GROUP TRUST AND BELONGING (2) SUPPORT KIDS TO CREATE THEIR OWN PRODUCTIONS AND (3) CONNECT KIDS ACROSS POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS, ETHNIC, AND RACIAL DIVIDES USING THEIR STORIES AS A NEW STARTING POINT FOR COMMUNICATION.
