Storytelling beyond Words

We are currently dreaming, visioning and updating our programme which will be based on the description below and will have new elements added. Stay tuned to the changes.

About The Course

• What makes a story work?
• Can words shift the world? 
• What inner shift is asked of us to help this happen?

This full time, 12 week training in the art and craft of storytelling aims to prepare you to carry the spoken word and a lively imagination into your communities and places of work. Whether you wish through sharing stories to entertain, educate, counsel, inspire or advocate change; whether the stage, fire side, classroom, board room, or the bedside of a dying person is the context for your telling, this is our flagship training to develop a way of storytelling unique to your own voice and calling. Join us on a journey to light up your creativity and, through the surprising perspectives that this work offers, discover new aspects of who you are. This journey, both playful and profound, opens a path of development and transformation guided by humanity’s great shifters and shapers – Stories!

We are delighted once again to be able to accept students from outside the EU onto the course.
For the 3rd year in a row, Storytelling Beyond Words is aiming  to offer at least one FULL tuition bursary spot and hopefully more. These bursaries are available through generous donations made on the SBW 2024 graduation weekend fundraiser and our online campaign.

If you are seeking to develop your storytelling skills and vision in service of your community but are not in a financial position to attend our course please contact the registrar in the first instance, requesting a bursary application form.

The full bursary will be given after a selection process to the most suitable person with priority based on:
Financial necessity – income based, underprivileged / disadvantaged background, demonstration of current community involvement to which you wish to bring the storytelling work to.
Application deadline for the full bursary is 1st December 2024.
Applicants will be notified by the 15th December 2024.
