Unfolding Life Stories
Identity & Story
Workshop Series
Our Identity & Story Workshop Series is a three-part experience designed to support young people to explore who they are, understand the experiences that have shaped them, and look towards their future with hope and purpose.
Across the three sessions, young people will:
- Explore their identity, strengths, interests and relationships.
- Reflect on experiences that have shaped their story without allowing those experiences to define them.
- Consider their hopes, goals and possibilities for the future in a safe and supportive group environment.
A Three Part Journey
Discovering identity beyond labels.
Young people explore the different parts of who they are, including their personality, strengths, interests, relationships and the things that make them uniquely themselves.
Who I am
The Story Behind Me
Understanding that our experiences help shape us, but do not define us.
Young people explore important experiences and moments in their lives and consider how these experiences have contributed to who they are today.
My Next Chapter
Looking forward with hope and purpose.
Young people reflect on their strengths, hopes, goals and the person they would like to continue becoming as they look towards their next chapter.
Who are the workshops for?
Children and young people who would benefit from opportunities to explore identity, strengths, relationships, experiences, belonging, hopes and future possibilities.
Connection & Belonging
Taking part alongside other young people creates opportunities for connection, encouragement and belonging. Young people can listen, share and learn from different perspectives while feeling supported and included.
Each person’s voice is valued, creating a space where young people can feel seen, heard and connected.
