Mission and vision

Our vision is a world where every story matters.

Using our unique multi-disciplinary approach to the art of storytelling we work in partnership to enhance well being among individuals & communities. 

We believe that everyone - regardless of ability, background, or circumstances - should have access to the resources and opportunities to tell their story. 

Why? To make a better, fairer, and more equal society.

The capacity of communities to transform and make meaning of their environment and circumstances must not be limited to those with the available capital, resources, and networks. 

By telling your story, communities and individuals - especially those whose stories are seldom heard - can challenge through language:

  • the assumptions and prejudices of everyday life
  • the life circumstances of the vulnerable and marginalised
  • the reconsideration of what is 'taken for granted'
  • As well as create proposals for new and better ways to improve quality of life
