The Aurus Project – Digging For Inner Gold: Toolkit Launch

Along with our international partners, we are proud to launch the Aurus Project – Digging For Inner Gold. This toolkit is for people interested in the potential and power of storytelling as a tool to improve well-being and self-esteem. It provides a practical understanding, exercises and resources which can be used by professionals who support people experiencing or are at risk of social exclusion.

Join us as we and our European partners present the toolkit and share our experience of developing this toolkit, drawing on our work with the most marginalised and isolated groups across Europe. This will include a panel discussion and Q&A.

Duration: 90 minutes

Access: Wheelchair Accessible

Part of the Aurus Project Launch. For almost two years a team from Scotland, England, Greece, Hungary, and the Netherlands worked on the Aurus project, focusing on how to use storytelling in working with people and groups in vulnerable circumstances, including the most marginalised and isolated. Europe faces growing numbers of people at risk of and experiencing social exclusion. Mank think that their story doesn’t matter, that they don’t matter. The partners in this project believe everyone’s story matters and that working with applied storytelling can help people realise their strengths and know how to use them.
