Lived Experience Collective Story Game – Train the Trainer
Billy Kriaris, Community Engagement at Relationships Australia SA, discusses the importance of lived experience and how the resource supports people in their journey.
Lived experience stories are important because they offer a human face to a greater social problem. Sometimes it is understandably difficult for people to talk about the harm and devastation they have experienced. For this reason, this resource may generate collective stories bringing together the experiences of many, that are shared with the roll of a dice, without inviting re-traumatisation or exposing individuals. It offers a great deal more than just a game, as the playing of it is framed as a workshop and set up as a safe place to come together, talk about it, share food and engage in art and story making.
