"Staff have noticed a real change in the school ecology. Having shared each others' stories, the students just seem better connected."
- Head of PSHE
Once a school has taken part, we'll be inviting them to take the next step - with opportunities for staff and/or Year 11 and 12 students to be trained online as Story Exchange facilitators. This could include collaborating with other schools across the UK and internationally as part of the growing Narrative 4 network.
For students, this offers a powerful way to demonstrate leadership, empathy, and global citizenship - all valuable attributes for UCAS applications and beyond.
But for now, there’s no commitment required. Narrative Alchemy are simply offering you the chance to experience a Story Exchange in your school - free of charge.
"I didn't realise how much I had in common with people I barely speak to. It made me feel like I wasn't alone."
