Lifestories are authentic, people-centred experiences depicting everyday life. They emerge from personal struggles and are filled with emotion uncovering rich information. They impact the subjective perceptions of human beings by building empathy, relations with others and ultimately constructing alternative spaces for dialogue and peace. They contain resilience, hope and imagination.
A prominent example of one life story is that of Anne Frank, which has come to represent the experience of not only one child but six million victims, making an indispensable contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust.
Therefore, lifestories present a innovative approach on building positive futures based on successful examples.
