Format: Three-day accredited training programme
About the training
Voicing the Void’s OCN Level 2 Understanding Restorative Storytelling builds on the foundations of restorative storytelling and takes participants deeper into how stories are constructed, how we hold and respond to the stories of others, and how storytelling can be used safely and ethically to support personal, community and social change.
The programme explores storytelling as a tool for empathy, connection, advocacy, leadership and change.
Across the three days, participants will explore eight core areas:
- What is restorative storytelling?
- How are stories structured?
- Truth and radical empathy
- Journeying Within: restorative self-reflection and reflective practices
- The VTV Self-Disclosure Framework
- Crafting inspiring narratives: empowering change through storytelling
- Community building and leveraging resources
- Storytelling advocacy fundamentals
These are the eight areas covered and assessed within the Level 2 programme.
