An introductory workshop to help participants get started in collating the key moments in their life onto a single piece of paper.
The session will furnish participants with the framework, approach, inspiration, and tools to write and design the content that they choose to share. Life Stories typically include words, drawings and photographs all acting as a snapshot of a life, that includes family, jobs, child and adulthood, love and hurt and getting older.
