The foundation program introduces participants to the Yarning Circle and programs which are key success factors of Yeddung Mura.
The movie “Mad Bastards” demonstrates the yarning circle approach in practice, where stories are shared and support is provided, that provide hope that change can occur, and that support is available to help make that change.
The participants learn that neither the program, the yarning circles, nor the facilitators bring about the change. Only the participants themselves can do that through openness and commitment to change. Trust is built while the hope of change increases with the evidence of the change.
