Projects

Community Solutions Active

We worked with Mindwaves and Village Storytelling Centre to create a series of workshops on how to develop different story telling techniques. The workshops were part of a wider project called Community Solutions that is working towards increasing the learning and options around community solutions to social care in Scotland. The project is a partnership between Healthcare Improvement Scotland, Nesta and Outside the Box.
