Join our storytelling workshop!

What You'll Do: 

We are planning a series of exciting intergenerational workshops at Sutton House, the oldest building in East London. The workshops will be led by a diverse range of creatives and are designed to help tackle isolation, whilst also fostering greater social cohesiveness across generations. We are looking for young people from King's College to come and take part! 
 

Upcoming workshops are as follows: 

8th July - 2-4pm storytelling workshop with Laura Sampson, professional storyteller from the International London Centre for Storytelling 
 

We hope that these workshops will be an opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to share their experiences and take part in stimulating projects.
