On Thursday some of our YACS participated in a story telling workshop (Tamar Valley). The Takeover Storytelling Workshop gives young people a relaxed and supportive space to explore their own voice. The session helps participants understand how to share real‑life experiences in a safe and confident way. It also introduces simple tools that make storytelling easier, including how to build a strong personal narrative. 📖
