The Power of Stories: Connecting Communities and Shaping Identity

As part of our webinar series, Nerina Finetto discussed the importance of storytelling in connecting communities and preserving cultural identity. A hundred years ago, communities gathered to share stories in person, but today, the way we tell and listen to stories has evolved. Stories not only reflect who we are, but they also shape how we connect with one another, define our values, and preserve our heritage.

We also touch on the European values of heritage and the significance of places and objects, as outlined by the Faro Convention, which emphasizes that cultural heritage is not just about the things we inherit but the meanings and stories we attach to them.
