Creative Confidence for Story Mentors
We led a creative writing for wellbeing workshop for Ministry of Stories volunteers to help them reconnect with their writing practice. The session supported these story mentors to reflect, recharge and continue their work with young writers with renewed enthusiasm.
facilitated discussion
Facilitated group discussion about sources of inspiration in the cityscape, our relationship with London and how to prioritise our own writing.
introduced mindfulness
Gently introduced digital mindfulness as a tool for energy and focus.
delivered creative writing
Delivered a Writing the City with creative writing for wellbeing prompts and story spark tools.Creative spaces that explore self-expression, resilience and belonging in a no-pressure environment.
Impact
Volunteers reported a stronger sense of belonging to the community at the Ministry. Many participants shared that it helped them feel recharged and seen, not just as mentors, but as writers and people with stories of their own to tell.
Curiosity in Action
Nurturing the creative wellbeing of volunteer story mentors means supporting the writing confidence of the young people they guide.
