Beyond Labels: Bridging Differences Through Storytelling | Noa Baum | TEDxWilmingtonSalon

Описание: When Israeli-born Noa Baum moved to the U.S. and unexpectedly formed a friendship with a Palestinian woman, she realized the importance of listening to the story of the "other" - even if that other is the enemy. She discovered that storytelling transforms perceptions, and from that epiphany Noa shares how she uses storytelling to connect across conflict in our communities and work places. Can storytelling change our response to differences? -

Born and raised in Jerusalem, Noa Baum is an award-winning storyteller, author and public speaker presenting internationally with diverse audiences ranging from the World Bank, the US Defense Department and prestigious universities, to congregations, inner city schools and detention centers. With a unique combination of performance art and practical workshops, her work focuses on the power of narrative to heal across the divides of identity. Noa trained in theatre and education at Tel-Aviv University and NYU and with acclaimed acting teacher Uta Hagen. She is a recipient of a Parents’ Choice Award and a Storytelling World Award. Her memoir, A Land Twice Promised: An Israeli Woman’s Quest For Peace, is a winner of the 2017 Anne Izard Storytellers' Choice Award.
