"Our work very much brings all of those different viewpoints together in one room. They all come from opposing and different backgrounds, so we try to enable them to come together and build peace with one another, We try to create a space for people to heal and also to educate so that we don't go back to that space, so that younger people in our communities don't start idealizing the atrocities of the past"

I Once Knew a Girl and Kathleen Gillespie

I Once Knew a Girl was a theatre production made possible by the Theatre and Peacebuilding Academy. It worked with a woman named Amanda Gillespie.
