Kia ora koutou katoa. I’m Liz Stevenson, founder of the Story Hui Trust and I’ve been looking at the benefits of visual storytelling for a long time - in health, arts education and in the community. The focus of my MEd research was community/student mentoring through learning stories. I followed up by designing Story Hui - as a research method for my PhD. In this study, I looked at Rogers' theory of Active Listening, adding in the use of visual symbols, a time and space framework and clean questioning.
 
Because the stories are told according to a success focused brief, key nuggets of information and capability tend to surface naturally and these often point to hidden personal strengths. The stories, which are uninterrupted and always told from the storyteller's point of view, paint a picture of capability, strength and focus in action. The mana stays with the storyteller!
 
The Story Hui Trust, created in 2017, funds publications and workshops. Its prime purpose is to share practice and enable multicultural inclusion.  All power to you in telling your stories of courage and change!

Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui!
Be strong, be brave, be steadfast!
