Towards Understanding and Healing (TUH) is a story-telling and Positive Encounter Dialogue project that is based in 'The Junction' in Derry/Londonderry. TUH has developed training resources including:
a DVD entitled 'Storytelling & Dialogue' (2008) outlining story-telling and positive encounter dialogue;
a training manual and an accompanying book entitled 'Stories in Conflict';
a resource entitled 'Threading My Life Story Using Beads';
three Open College Network Northern Ireland (OCNNI) accredited programmes (at levels 1, 2, and 3); and
a collection of stories entitled 'To Tell You the Truth' (2015).

"‘Towards Understanding and Healing’ is a project that focuses on the needs of the individual by creating a space for reflection and recognition of individual experience and supporting individuals to share their stories. Because Northern Ireland is the way that it is, no one person can tell the story and this project emphasises the need to hear all the disparate narrative in order to open minds to other possibilities. There is also a reality that, within the field of conflict resolution and peace building, there has been little focus on individual and community trauma as a result of over three decades of violence - ‘Towards Understanding and Healing’ offers a space for people to begin to articulate and share personal stories and also listen to other stories or ‘truths’ in a way that does not diminish their own personal experience."
