  • Sharing Our Stories Across Oceans

    The Power of Storytelling to Empower and Transform. We come to this project, 'Sharing Our Stories Across Oceans', as learners, educators, activists and storytellers inspired by creative methods in education. On our own journey, we have truly realised the power of storytelling to be emotional, liberating and transformative; it has helped us to make sense of our lives and been an important lever to support others on their personal and public journey.

I want to share my story because I want people to know that there is help – you just need to be brave enough to reach out! I am the proof!
