In this session, you’ll learn the fundamentals of storytelling in a supportive and welcoming environment. We’ll explore simple ways to shape your memories into a story that can be written down or recorded, so it can be kept and shared for years to come.
Your story might be your own. It might be the story of a parent, partner, sibling or friend whose service deserves to be remembered.
Whether you are confident with words or just starting out, this workshop will help you find a way to tell a story of service with care, dignity and heart.
Join us to preserve stories of service for future generations.
