You are invited to a Life Stories Writing Workshop. This workshop will help participants learn the art of writing someone’s life stories – especially the stories of a person living with a life-limiting condition or illness.
Over two half days, participants will be guided through the process of creating a life narrative, with practical exercises and reflective discussions. The workshop will cover:
- Beginning the storytelling process
- Interviewing techniques
- Recording and transcription
- Structuring and writing the story
- Editing and proofreading
- Options for printing or publishing
Participants will have the opportunity to practice listening, recording, and shaping a story with care and sensitivity. The workshop also explores the emotional and ethical aspects of working closely with people nearing the end-of-life.
Usually not as extensive as a memoir or biography, life stories document an individual’s journey, experiences, and personal reflections. This can be shared with loved ones as a way to preserve memories.
This workshop is part of the Creative Legacy Initiative (CLI), a Highlands End-of-Life Project program that supports people who are dying, and those close to them, to create meaningful and creative legacy projects for personal expression, connection, and remembrance.
When: 9am-1pm, 11-12 October 2025
Where: TCS Meeting Room – 7 Hill Street, Uralla
