Once we have a collection of stories\, we facilitate a group discussion to identify what can be learned from them. \n\n\n\nStorytelling helps us to do justice to the messiness of people’s lives in a way that tick boxes and feedback forms never can. It helps us to listen\, it’s a meaningful and collaborative process\, and it brings to light rich\, human stories that we can learn from. \n\n\n\nSince 2017 we’ve worked with over 250 local and national partners and counting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n\nStandard £250.00\n\n\n\nPay more £300.00\n\n\n\nPay less £150.00\n\n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 30 minutes \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note the attendee will be contacted with a link to join a week before the training. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.

It is best suited to confident readers and independent writers aged 8 to 12.

Their darkly humorous poetry collection\, The Tale of the Propeller Man and Other Stories\, draws inspiration from classic cautionary tales and the wicked wit of writers such as Dr Heinrich Hoffmann and Hilaire Belloc. \n\n\n\nLizzie is an artist and writer with a fascination for myth\, dark storytelling\, and all things slightly strange\, balancing her creative practice with a career in communications. Gerard is an author\, playwright\, and musician whose work spans novels\, theatre\, and song\, and whose unused stories for this book were (apparently) too dark even for publication. \n\n\n\nAccess \n\n\n\nThe Museum is accessible for wheelchair users\, buggies\, and baby carriers.
