Podcast series: People with and without refugee experience co-creating a shared world through narrative practices

We invite you to embark on a journey through a mini podcast series hosted by Sarah. In each episode, Sarah engages with individuals involved in grassroots community events that share refugee stories to create awareness and foster reflection and positive action.
Through these dialogues, which extend from Sarah’s in-depth research, you will gain valuable perspectives on the experiences and learnings of those sharing their personal stories and others creating platforms to amplify diverse voices within their communities.
This mini-series offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the power of storytelling in fostering inclusive communities. It invites you to explore how each of us can contribute to creating a shared home in this world.
Tune in and join us in this thoughtful and inspiring exploration

The Tree of Life research collection

The Tree of Life narrative approach was co-developed by Ncazelo Ncube (REPSSI) and David Denborough (Dulwich Centre Foundation) to assist colleagues who work with children affected by HIV/AIDS in southern Africa. This approach has proved so successful and popular that it is now being used with children, young people, and adults in a wide range of countries across Africa, and also in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Nepal, the USA, and elsewhere. This collection is home to a growing body of research, evidence and practice relating to the Tree of Life as a therapeutic approach.
