Limerick, Ireland, June 06, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Four world-renowned musicians – Mickey Madden, Leah Siegel, David Gungor and Colm Mac Con Iomaire – will join literary luminaries Colum McCann, Christine Dwyer Hickey, Assaf Gavron, Ruth Gilligan, Ishmael Beah and Rob Spillman – for an evening of stories and song highlighting the global nonprofit, Narrative 4.

Narrative 4 is a network of authors, educators, and students facilitating story exchanges to build empathy and spark collaborative change globally in classrooms, workplaces, and communities. Narrative 4’s core methodology, the story exchange, asks participants to share each other’s stories in the first person as if they were their own to promote empathy. Since its founding, well over 25,000+ stories have been exchanged on four continents in Ireland, Mexico, Rwanda, Israel, South Africa, Palestine, England, Colombia, and the United States.
“Narrative 4 is based on the simple idea that by knowing the story of another, we are able to better understand each other,” said N4 co-founder and Executive Director Lisa Consiglio. “We are especially honored to have these superstars take the stage to not only share their art, but to be a part of the N4 family and share their ideas. They are inspirational models for our broader mission of encouraging students to turn empathy into action.”
International best-selling author and N4 co-founder Colum McCann explains, “This is key to understanding the hopes, fears, experiences, beliefs, and world-views of others. It offers opportunities to recognize emotion in others and suggests that individuals refrain from judgment. We ask people to feel with and for others.”
In April of 2016, Narrative 4 opened its first international center in Limerick, Ireland. “This is the second year we have chosen to hold our global summit in Ireland in order to highlight and celebrate the Limerick hub,” said Consiglio. “Ireland has given birth to some of the world’s finest storytellers. As we move to support both global and local actions towards change, we are excited to strengthen our organizational mission in Ireland, especially in the incredible community of Limerick.”
Narrative 4’s summit will take place June 23-27 on the campus of the University of Limerick. This year’s theme, “Roadmaps for Action,” is designed to assist participants, as individuals and a group, to focus on creating concrete action steps to make change across their communities and around the world.

About Narrative 4
Narrative 4 (N4) is an organization driven by authors, educators, and students facilitating story exchanges to build empathy and spark collaborative global change in classrooms, workplaces, and communities. In the process, N4 aims to build a community of empathetic global citizens, that harness story exchanges to better understand different points of view and different perspectives on key issues. The story exchange is based on a simple idea: if a person can hear another person’s story deeply enough to retell it in his or her own words, as if it was one's own experience, then each person has the chance to see the world through another’s eyes. N4 brings this methodology into classrooms and communities, with a focus on stories centered around immigration, identity, faith, environment, and peace. Since its founding, well over 25,000+ stories have been exchanged and tracked in countries on four continents, including in Ireland, Mexico, Rwanda, Israel, South Africa, Palestine, England, Colombia, and the United States.
Narrative 4 Ireland, the organization’s first international center, opened its doors at 58 O’Connell Street in Limerick in the summer of 2016.
