as the narratives of self are: -an opportunity to take care of yourself, find lost strands of your own story, recover important parts of yourself; -an instrument of personal growth, through the search for “new narratives” of oneself, valuing positive life experiences, elaborating difficult experiences; -an opportunity to talk about oneself to others, share one’s own story, communicate important experiences and reflections, and reveal unknown or little-known realities; -a tool to feed intercultural dialogue, thanks to the effectiveness of stories in allowing mutual understanding between people of different cultures, overcoming cultural barriers, prejudices and stereotypes; -a tool for social action, to propose different visions of reality, affirm rights and nourish changes at local and global level.
