Such a joy visiting the The Agency projects yesterday produced in The Lache with Storyhouse!
From escape rooms, rage rooms
to robotics- amazing young people embedding new ideas in their community.

Today I got to witness first hand some of the amazing work being done as part of Storyhouse The Agency programme. A fascinating afternoon meeting the young people behind the projects 1/4

Had a brilliant time today visiting Storyhouse The Agency projects. Here’s me in Don’t tell Me to Calm Down’s brilliant rage room. After this we collected our broken shards & made mosaics from them in the calm cafe space.

Inclusive Cultures Applications close in 2 weeks on 29 April!

'The programme has been so powerful for me. The value of the relationships made, the wisdom shared, insight illuminated through the seminars and the coaching sessions has been life changing.'

The most important thing I’ve learned in my life is how to spot a fake; those people who quickly shift loyalty based on where power lies not values. They gravitate towards hierarchy; swayed by positions of power that make them look important, salary increases & personal profile.
