The West Side Story Project

Learn about the West Side Story Project as a crime and conflict prevention tool on my latest Analysts' Corner Blog Talk Radio show. For more information on the project and using arts in crime prevention: americansforthearts.org (searchable database on youth arts prevention projects, including one on using the arts for conflict resolution) 5thavenue.org (information on the West Side Story Project) cops.usdoj.gov (West Side Story Project tool kit should be available online in Spring 2009) Email for more information on the project: pam.beal@seattle.gov I refer to the book The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion through the Art of Storytelling by Annette Simmons on the show. It is a great resource in understanding how we might use stories to change the status quo.
