Level 1 Voices of Resilience
Course Description
In this course we will explore how storytelling can instill hope, evoke empathy and motivate change. Storytelling has been used throughout history to inspire people in the face of adversity. We will explore texts that identify universal themes but also teach us about ourselves.
This course is designed to explore the stories and experiences of resilience demonstrated by individuals and communities in many contexts including New Zealand. Resilience is the capacity to overcome adversity, adapt to challenges, and recover from difficult circumstances, and this course aims to highlight the diverse ways in which resilience is manifested in our lives. Students will examine personal narratives, case studies, research, and artistic expressions that showcase the strength, determination, and tenacity of individuals and communities in the face of various challenges.
