Some more photos from the ICF Conference where we had the pleasure of conducting a Story Exchange workshop with the coaches in attendance. Forming connections and growing a deeper understanding for people through the power of stories always brightens our day, so hopefully it does the same for you!

A massive congratulations to Narrative 4 co-founder Colum McCann, who received the John B. Keane Lifetime Achievement Award at Listowel Writers' Week!

We were delighted to facilitate a Story Exchange as part of the Erasmus + Partner's Week at the University of Limerick. 🌍

With participants from 18 nationalities and 21 universities, it was a meaningful chance to connect, exchange perspectives, and celebrate the value of international collaboration. 💡

Well done to all involved. 👏

To all students starting their Junior Cert or Leaving Cert exams tomorrow, Narrative 4 wants to wish you the best of luck!

The Story Exchange is a powerful tool for connection, and we were able to demonstrate this through a recent Intergenerational Story Exchange!

Students from Our Lady of Lourdes National School and Adults from the Garryowen Men's Shed came together for two sessions where they shared stories and took on new perspectives. Participants ranged from 10-74, showing the power of stories to break down boundaries and bring people together.

This event was made possible thanks to Limerick City and County Council and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government under the Social Intervention Fund, who enabled us to bring these different groups together and form unlikely new connections.

They said that "The exchange was amazing for bonding and for really focusing on deep listening."
