Bala will share stories of hope and resilience in building communities. He will describe the on-going work with disaster-affected communities in Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, and BC. For example, many coastal villages in India and Sri Lanka fall under the Coastal Multi-Hazard Zone (CMZ), making them highly vulnerable to inundation due to sea erosion. The small-scale fishing communities are vulnerable to cyclones and floods. In addition, they are vulnerable to losing their rights to the sea, and fishing grounds are being destroyed because of industrial trawl fishing and climate change events. At the end of the presentation, Bala and the participants attempt to write their own stories of hope and resilience using narrative tools, and by doing so, we create collective hope and strength.
