content: Alissa Stern (presenter); Noa Baum ;Master storyteller Noa Baum uses the art of storytelling to help people break through stereotypes and rhetoric and build stronger more compassionate communities. Using her own experience of being born and raised in Jerusalem and coming to the United States, Baum models how well-told stories can go beyond the anecdotal to resonate with others and draws them into co-create a narrative and imbuing it with meaning. She offers a unique combination of performance art and an interactive workshop to heal across the divides of identity. During this session, Baum invites the public to tap into the power of their own stories to understand better themselves and the perspectives of others.
