In this episode Amanda (Inquiry Creative Communication Officer) is joined by Deborah Menezes (Inquiry Co-Lead), Mohamed Tonsy (Inquiry Storyteller) and Patrick Heyes (Inquiry Storyteller and Guide). We explore together the concept of storytelling. 

Patrick shares: “storytelling is a way of sharing your beliefs, sharing your values, sharing your experiences through whatever medium. Especially in the way that we did the storytelling project, I think it's a way to get people in your community and people in the wider world just to try and spend a day in your shoes.”
