The Story Telling Workshop

Calling all Community Groups! 

Do you have a story to tell?

The Living and Learning Community Training Project is a unique opportunity for all community groups to receive professional training in media literacy and production.  There is a further exciting chance for 14 selected groups to receive further intensive training through which they produce audio and/or film pieces conveying a message of their choosing.

Through a series of workshops delivered via blended learning (online and in-person), participants will learn how to do the following:

• Tell your own story
  • Ensuring your perspectives are seen & heard as you want them to be
• Gain Media Skills
  • Helping groups in doing future media projects (from Oral History to YouTube videos)
• Reflect & Distil:
  • Reflect on what you do as a community, and why you do it.
• Build skills for the future:
  • Getting people on the same page
  • Rebuilding Momentum
  • Reframing your story
  • Communicating what you do and why – a vital skill for completing funding applications, mobilising volunteers, and fundraising
