What is StoryAID?
Our Vision:
To share the StoryAID experience to 1 billion human beings, so that they can encourage world healing through story.
Our Mission:
To facilitate groups and individuals so that they
Reconnect and Rediscover their inner stories.
We actively seek to rehumanise the person through the sharing of story. This is our purpose and a privilege. Our activities encourage self-care, reduce loneliness, encourage increased emotional resilience and spiritual education. We actively support interprofessional education.
StoryAID has 30 years of applied knowledge and expertise in developing and implementing collaborative projects and programmes with public, charitable and private agencies and institutions. i.e. healthcare, education, cultural and creative industries.
Our Approach
We believe that every person is a member of distinct global communities. These communities have unique languages, cultures, heritage and beliefs. Our approach is based upon collaborating to reveal opportunities and to create long-term sustainable change. Inspiring knowledge will emerge from which appropriate support can be identified, build powerful creative and healing relationships. We celebrate the diversity of human relationships which underpins all our activities. This incorporates the rich diversity that each culture brings to the human storytelling experience without exception.

 Karen ThorneStoryAid provided excellent poetry and story-telling workshops for my students, who were trainee health professionals.... |  Jackee HolderEli is a skilful, intuitive, warm and humorous facilitator and storyteller. His skills are immense in the way he holds a group and facilitates a deep, creative space for learning... |  Alex DunedinEli Anderson is a passionate and dedicated individual who uses his skills to inspire people to engage with the world in more positive ways... |  Alex BohillI expected the normal class, where you get a visual/audio/physical subject; you then write about it and in a group discuss it. What Eli does is explain the difference between storytelling and creative writing. Some of the ways we communicate via body language, words, symbols etc. The atmosphere was always lively and the full course went so quickly I wished it had been longer. Eli makes you think about even the smallest detail and how it can change a story. |
