Thank you for the kind messages. It's been your collegiality, teamwork, and support that made all this possible. I am also grateful to be part of a very supportive research group, Higher Education & Human Development Research_ SA and @ufsweb.

Some pictures from this lovely, engaging, funny and thoughtful IbaliNetwork #storytelling #research workshop with #teachers in #CapeTown . 🤩

We spend as much time (more, probably) thinking about what #storytellers get out of the process than we ( #researchers ) do. So it's lovely to get feedback like this:

'Best workshop ever. I could listen to the others' stories for ever more'
'awesome, engaging, enriching, amazing!'
