About this title

Synopsis

The story gathering and sharing process is powerful. It can do many things; celebrate triumphs, connect people, document and preserve memories and help storytellers engage with their lived experiences in powerful ways. The work we do to support strength and resilience in our communities and individuals requires us to have high ethical standards that are flexible and transparent. Here we provide an outline that will inform our conversation about story gathering, sharing and publication ethics.

About the Author

Alisa Del Tufo Founder of Threshold Collaborative I have worked to support justice and to strengthen empathy throughout my life. Raising over 80 million dollars, I founded three game changing organizations: Sanctuary for families, CONNECT and Threshold Collaborative. In the early 1990’s I pioneered the use of oral history and community engagement to build grassroots change around the issues of family, and intimate violence. With Threshold this work has been honed so that we can partner with and teach an array of participatory strategies that address social challenges in ways that ignite empathy, inclusion, insight and impact. My innovations have been recognized through a Revson, Rockefeller and Ashoka Fellowship.
