Life has stories worth remembering – family rituals, familiar places, hard lessons and turning points that shape who people are.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to turn personal memories and family stories into vivid, meaningful writing.

Through guided prompts, simple storytelling techniques and reflective exercises, they will explore how to evoke memory and organise life experiences into a compelling narrative.

They will also learn how to interview family members and preserve stories for future generations.
