How do I talk about difference without putting a value judgment on it?   If one thing is different than another, must one thing be better than the other?  How can I value multiple experiences, approaches and perspectives while keeping a sense of self?  Must I choose one as better so that I can hold on to something familiar? This project is different than the rest of my work in Afghanistan.  I am not working directly with a theater group, I am working with media makers; writers, producers, researchers from Equal Access, Afghanistan.  I am training them in methods of participatory storytelling for community engagement and social change
