We would like to invite you to participate in a creative storytelling research project hosted by researchers from the University of Dundee together with development workers from Citadel Centre. The purpose of this project is to explore social and health outcomes of younger, middle-aged, and older peoples’ LGBT+ love and relationship experiences.
What will this involve?
Participating in three consecutive 1.5-hour creative storytelling workshops June10th, June 24th and July 17th 2021, which will require 0.5-hour prep work before each session (such as reviewing the workshop materials). The total participation time will be 6hours. Workshop activities entail the following:
Workshop 1: participants will be asked to identify key LGBT+ love and relationship topics
Workshop 2: participants will be asked to engage in fictional storytelling regarding the key LGBT+ love and relationship topics
Workshop 3: participants will be asked to input into the development of a Zine consisting of graphic novel elements
The study is funded through an Incubator Grant awarded by the Institute of Social Science Research at the University of Dundee. The project involves a collaboration between University of Dundee’s Schools of Health Sciences, Humanities, and Education and Social Work, Medicine and community partners Citadel Centre and the Intergenerational National Network.
