The Guestbook Project is an international, non-profit housed at Boston College and directed by Richard Kearney and Sheila Gallagher. Its mission is to transform hostility into hospitality through conversation and conflict resolution.




History


The Guestbook Project began ten years with the intention of using the power of storytelling to heal divided communities and societies around the world. To that end, Guestbook often features conversations of people from dissenting backgrounds, and attempts to have them share their side of the story, listen to the other side, and evantually come to “invent a new story together.” The Guestbook Project has recorded several stories from divided groups around the world, including: Mitrovica (Kosovo), Derry (Northern Ireland), Jerusalem (Israel/Palestine), Bangalore (India), Dokdo (Japan/Korea), Cape Town (South Africa), and the Mexican-American border (El Centro). At the moment, the Guestbook Project has over sixty storybites and documentaries on its online platform; the most recent of which being, Sheltering Strangers, which depicts the story of a Greek orphanage for Syrian refugee children.

Storybites


Storybites is a Guestbook project aimed at having people share stories that led to a surprising shift in their perspective. Participants in the project record a short conversation about some epiphany that they had with a member from a dissenting group, and those videos are then featured on Guestbook's online platform.
