Schedule
Let my fellow professional teller CHUAH AI LIN and I share stories from a variety of religious traditions (such as those collected by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth & Sports in Colours of Love and Colours of Harmony)
Together we share stories drawn from many faiths and cultures to illustrate the similarities between the core values of the world’s major religions.
There is no dogma
- we are storytellers, not preachers!
Objectives:
|
|
To foster respect for different faiths by demonstrating their similarities through the values embodied in their stories
|
|
|
to use the power of storytelling to pass on these values in a memorable and meaningful manner. After all, most religious leaders have used storytelling as a strategy to pass on their beliefs.
|
|
|
To generate discussion amongst the
|
audience in terms of:
|
i
|
Do any stories remind me of stories within
|
my own faith/cultural tradition?
|
ii
|
How do the stories relate to my own personal experience?
|
|
iii
|
To encourage participants to re-tell and share these stories within their own family/community
