Phoenix Intercommunity Action Network

Narrative-building Session

1 April 2011
London

After a very successful initial meeting of a wide group of thought-leaders in October, a smaller group met to discuss a narrative for the initiative. The desired outcome for the initiative is that with their differences, people can come together, stand together, and work together -even if that means through having tough conversations  with each other- to raise their voices for the middle ground, thus challenging the extremes and extreme narratives. The session was extremely helpful in refining the vision of the group and they plan to continue to meet as the initiative continues to take shape.
