This activity takes place over 2 Tuesday afternoons in November 2024. It is open to current mature students studying at Sussex, and you must book to take part. 

Tell your story - Creating Voice Storytelling Workshops

Would you like to tell your story and learn creative storytelling techniques, in a safe and supportive space with other mature students?

We are delighted to offer you the opportunity to take part in a two-part workshop led by Sussex alumni, PhD researcher and professional storyteller Jon Mason.

These workshops are part of the Student Engagement & Enhancement team’s programmes to support students of all backgrounds to find their space and voice at Sussex, and will be a fun and sociable space where mature students can connect and learn storytelling techniques such as language, narrative, and creative writing or spoken storytelling.

After participating in the workshop we will ask if you are – completely optionally - happy to share the piece you produce for use within the university, to support staff to learn more about your experiences as a student, and/or at a public exhibition of creative work by Sussex students taking place next summer. If you use Instagram, you can see a story from last year's exhibition here. 

Places are limited for these exciting workshops. Find out more and book your place on TicketTailor.


This event is one of several activities for mature students being offered by the Student Engagement and Enhancement team to celebrate Lifelong Learning Week 2024. By mature student, we usually mean around age 21+ at the beginning of your undergraduate degree, or 25+ for postgraduates.
