Place-themed literacy CPD: Story Exchange

19 Mar 2026

4:00pm - 5:00pm

Online

Do you work in a secondary school or adult education setting?

Would you like to empower your students to tell their own life stories, and connect to their peers?

In this FREE online CPD session, we will discuss the Story Exchange -a speaking and listening workshop format created by the charity Narrative 4.

Story Exchanges support students to tell their own story on a theme - and then step into the shoes of a partner and tell their story - a powerful exercise in empathy.

We will be joined by Professor Ruth Gilligan: writer, academic and Narrative 4 UK ambassador. The session will focus on how making a space for sharing place-themed stories can connect people to the local area as well as improve their oracy skills.

This is the final session in our six-part CPD series on place-themed approaches to literacy.
