We are pleased to announce the release of the online repository of teaching and learning materials for the StoryAidEU project. As well as our results page, we wanted to provide educators with a place where they can find all the materials they need to implement all or part of our storytelling course into their own training courses. The first step is to read our concise Training Guide which provides everything you need to know about our project, the resources available and some suggestions for implementation. You can then find the associated Coursebook for students and Group Work Guide with examples for each module.

On the online repository you can also find the PowerPoint slides for each module along with the video lectures we have created and other audio/visual materials. Link: https://storyaid.eu/online-repository/

We are pleased to announce the details of the first multiplier event of StoryAidEU project. The event will be held virtually, online on Thursday 30th of September 2021 and there will be two sessions – morning and evening (similar format/information at both).

This 90 min demonstration event aims to present an innovative approach for integrating the principles of humanism in the delivery of healthcare. We strongly believe that storytelling can become a crucial tool for educators to reveal the hidden and silent stories of patients, healthcare professionals, loved ones, and vulnerable populations, and in particular through the practice of interprofessional collaboration. StoryAID Director Eli Anderson, as a storytelling expert, will lead the event.
