“I had the pleasure of experiencing one of the Storyshaping workshops at the BBC RaW storytelling festival led by Julia Damassa for Storyshapes – Wow. I was hooked in immediately, offering up suggestions and ideas for storymaking. The exercise of creating our very own magical world and much, much more was very exciting, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable. Most amazing of all was how easily parents were included just at the right, special moment to help write each child’s story. Brilliant. Families creating together.”
Sid Sloane, BBC CBeebies Presenter

“Thanks to Julia Damassa for delivering such beautiful Storyshaping activities on the main stage. As always you were a complete hit – you really built up the confidence of the families during your sessions and I overheard a number of mums and dads commenting about how easy it was to go home and make stories together.”
Kirsty Gaskell-Sinclair, Project Manager at BBC RaW

“Julia Damassa came to Cotgrave Children’s Centre to do a ‘taster’ for the childminding group. We also invited some children from the pre-school. The session was absolutely magical, very positively evaluated by children and adults alike.”

“I wanted to email you as soon as I got home from our training day with you, but I was so excited to show my family the Storyshapes that I completely ran out of time. I had such a lovely day and thoroughly enjoyed very minute of the training. It is such fun."
Lucy Grattan, Time Out Club Team Manager at Center Parcs

“Storyshaping worked really well with both the children and adults, enabling everyone to take part in the magical adventure. All members of the group had a role in the creation of the story and everyone felt valued.”
