In this session, Sara Cameron McBean and Marina Cantacuzino will explore how their distinct yet complementary work harnesses the power of storytelling. By giving voice to difficult stories, their work has offered new perspectives, sparked important conversations, and built a deeper understanding between people.

Sara Cameron McBean is an award-winning novelist, non-fiction author and arts advocate who worked for many years with UNICEF. Her travels included a life-changing experience in Colombia where she encountered the extraordinary stories of the Children’s Movement for Peace.

Marina Cantacuzino is an author, broadcaster, podcaster and journalist who in 2004 founded The Forgiveness Project, a charity that works with real stories to help people break cycles of harm and promote concepts of compassion, empathy and forgiveness.
