Objects and their Stories
Delivered by Coram-i
About the course
The Objects and their stories course has been developed from the innovative and pioneering work of Prof Mark Doel’s Social Work in 40 Objects project, in partnership with the innovation team at Coram, building on successful pilots in Sheffield, London and New York.
The objects around us are connected with our feelings and experiences. Exploring our relationship with objects can help us tell our stories and give us a greater understanding of other people and ourselves. This course will demonstrate how objects can shape emotions, encourage imagination and promote creative practices and relationships.
Those attending the course will be invited to share objects from their own lives.
Upcoming dates for May to be announced soon.
