In this era of 24hr news, critical analysis is a skill we need to teach more. We can’t just blame the internet & social media for #FakeNews we need to take the time to STOP, THINK & CHECK what we’re actually reading & sharing. You can choose to believe me or not! 😉 #BeMediaSmart

Hi @EqualityAware! You're absolutely right, we use storytelling to amplify the narratives of hidden voice in NI and to highlight peoples lived experiences of inequality. We recently hosted a storytelling evening in @theduncairn#PeoplePowerNI 1/1
