Diploma in Narrative Practices
2025
(in-person)
The (in-person) Diploma in Narrative Practices 2025 is a 11 month exploration of Narrative Ideas and Practices starting March 2025. It will be held in-person in Bangalore, India.
What we will explore?
We will be exploring maps to navigate through territories of life which are guided by these beliefs,
Communities and people are experts of their own lives, who have know-hows and wisdom in responding to adversities which are stored in the stories of their lived experiences.
We are all making meaning of our experiences but this meaning making is influenced by the socio-cultural-historical-political intersections.
All the problems in this world are located in structural systems of oppression and not in communities and people’s bodies and identities.
We are all made of stories and stories is how we make sense of the world around us and ourselves. No story is fixed which means we can re-author them in our preferred ways.
Stories and identity construction is political because stories are advantaged and disadvantaged based on their gender, sexuality, skin color, caste, class, religion, region, ability, schooling, etc.
This exploration will happen through sharing and drawing on participants' and trainers’ lived experiences and emphasize on co-learning as peers and developing a community that co-travels together.
