Richard Kearney delivering keynote address on “Narrative Hospitality” at the International Guestbook Colloquy in Vis, Croatia on June 30, 2019. Also present are James Taylor and Petra Belkovich, directors of the European Center for the Study of War and Peace who co-sponsored and participated in the event.

This event is part of Guestbook Project’s mission of engaging young people to discuss controversial and divisive issues in order to build empathy through storytelling among people and communities. Working closely with our partners in places where historical, ethnic, and political divisions are part of collective identities, we aim to open a path towards a different future, where peace grounded in hospitality is made possible through the imagination and will of these young leaders.

Stay tuned for more events and projects.
