Women’s Creative Storytelling & Aspirations Workshop

Join us for a relaxed, friendly, women-only workshop designed to bring women together in a safe and supportive space to connect, create, and share.

This session is especially welcoming to Afghan and Syrian women resettled in the UK, but all women are very welcome to join and participate. It’s a chance to spend quality time together, enjoy creative activities, and have open, meaningful conversations in a comfortable and informal setting.

Through gentle storytelling, discussion, and art-based activities, women will be invited to reflect on:

• Their skills, experience, and work before coming to the UK
• Their current lives and aspirations
• The challenges they face in education, work, and career progression

We will explore shared experiences such as:

• Non-recognition of overseas qualifications
• Language barriers
• Caring responsibilities
• Lack of clear and accessible information about opportunities

💬 No pressure to speak – you can share as much or as little as you like. Interpretation support will be available to make sure everyone feels included :)

This workshop is child-friendly. While women take part in the session, children can enjoy a parallel creative activity table, where they’ll be encouraged to explore their dreams, interests, and what they would like to be when they grow up through fun art activities.
