Overview

Participants summarize relevant personal experiences pertaining to Commitment VI and how they handled those experiences. 

Competencies

INTRODUCTION

  • Facilitator may share the video found below, which features a meeting of ten Serbs and ten Croats in Brussels who come together during Holy Week in 2017 to develop empathy and understanding for one another.

This video provides a good starting point for how people from different backgrounds can learn from one another through the telling of lived experiences. 

  • Alternatively, consider demonstrating storytelling by providing a story that illustrates issues surrounding Commitment VI from a local context. 

Note: If time is short, you may want to omit the video and proceed with participant stories. 

DISCUSSION

  • To stimulate discussion, ask the questions under the Discussion Questions tab. 

  • Participants may be given time to write down their thoughts before sharing. They can use their Faith for Rights notebooks, if provided.

CONCLUSION

  • Encourage participants to share these stories with family and friends in order to spread awareness.
