Copy of Still I Rise: Storytelling for Children (aged 4-11)

Still I Rise will host a restorative storytelling session for children aged 4–11. Through carefully chosen stories and interactive activities, children will explore kindness, respect, and belonging, while learning to celebrate differences and stand against hate.

Stories have the power to shape how children see themselves and others. Using picture books and discussion, this session will open conversations about identity, respect, and treating others with care. Children will encounter diverse cultures and experiences — seeing their own lives reflected while learning about those of others.

Interactive and inclusive, the workshop invites children to ask questions, share their thoughts, and engage creatively. The focus is not only on recognising harm but also on building hope, resilience, and positive action.

By planting these seeds early, Still I Rise helps children grow in confidence, compassion, and awareness — encouraging them to become active allies who stand up against hate and embrace belonging.

This event is part of Voicing the Void’s - 'Restorative Storytelling Festival: Acts of Survival'. With 22 events over seven days, the festival creates space to take part, listen, and learn – with something to inspire everyone.
