Collective Healing: A Social Action Approach

Published by War Trauma Foundation (WTF), this publication was produced to develop the skills and capacity of local committees facilitating narrative theatre for healing in communities in Burundi. The material explores five topics that publishers identified as relevant for the Burundian context: (Ubuntu) values, trauma, conflict resolution and mediation, leadership, and development.
The publication comprises training material which supplements the previously published intervention manual: "Healing Communities by Strengthening Social Capital: A Narrative Theatre Approach - Training Facilitators and Community Workers" (see related summary at the bottom of this page).
The material consists of a main supplement (published in English and Kirundi) and six electronic training modules (in English and Kirundi that can be downloaded on WTF website.)
The manual is divided into of four parts:

• Part 1: Background and context
• Part 2: Theoretical foundations
• Part 3: Working with a community within a dynamic context
• Part 4: Developing a supportive and healing environment

The publication is the result of a joint project of WTF and its Burundian partner Centre Ubuntu.
