ABSTRACT

Stories are, of course, perhaps the oldest thing that we have from the first moment when one of our ancestors painted horses on the walls of a cave to the odd stunned narrative of stars and comets told by the stones of Newgrange. And it was well known, she added, that on a dark and foggy night the angels had a way of passing the time; whenever they got bored they played music at night and there was nothing sweeter than music. To come back in conclusion to a wonderful old story book. The stories and songs that still speak across thousands of year through the medium of language. The new group, Narrative Four, formed and lead by artists and musicians and writers all over the world is advocating for the use of storytelling as a means of fostering empathy.
