We help you to bring your stories to life with our in-house production team, who use our storytelling approaches to create powerful and impactful resources.

LiveSimply

While the LiveSimply scheme had been around for a few decades, to adapt it for children and young people required some big thinking on how to make a complex scheme simple for younger audiences. We were delighted to work with CAFOD on this project which required a different approach to audience engagement, and to create visually engaging materials, that supported their visual identity, and yet also kept to the overall theme of simplicity. 

The motivational story that sits behind this resource couldn’t use guilt, fear, or play to a sense that we ‘ought to’ live simply (all extrinsic motivational triggers), but rather to use a powerful story that helped audiences to see the transition from the old ways of living, that are causing so much harm to our world and each other, to embracing new ways of human flourishing, where we live a happier and more meaningful life.

Shifting Perspectives

How do we unpack one of the most complex political situations today, and help young people in the UK to understand the different layers and nuances that lie behind this ongoing conflict? Well, the answer is simple, through storytelling. 

Using stories taken from young people living in Israel and in Occupied Palestinian Territories, our video and educational resource ‘Shifting Perspectives’ encourages young people here in the UK to try to understand the conflict through a different perspective. When we enable this different way of seeing, can we look to understand the nuances of belonging, culture, history, identity and beliefs that each play a key role in shaping this conflict.

Faith in the Nexus

When NICER approached us to help with the promotion of their new research piece Faith in the Nexus, we worked alongside them to turn an in-depth and detailed academic research piece into an engaging story. By developing rich archetypes to represent different roles that appear on a child’s faith journey, we helped to create a deep and engaging story that can help audiences to dig deeper into the findings of the report and understand the spiritual needs of the child.

Eco-Catholic

Engaging Catholics with the ecological dimension of their faith offers many challenges and obstacles. With many Catholic organisations taking action and fundraising on a range of ecological and social issues, there was a notable clear gap in storytelling to help audiences understand the ‘why’, which is essential if we are to move audiences into action. Eco-Catholic was created to reach out to new audiences with a mix of storytelling and heart-based content to help motivate the Catholic community to undergo an ‘ecological conversion’.

Science Religion Encounters

How do we create a simple explanation for one of the most complex subjects that face? The relationship between science and religion. Drawing from the findings from the NICER research team, this simple animation, explores some of the insight the researchers found when dealing with science religion encounters in the classroom. 

This subject, while complex, offers a new way of looking at the relationship between these two different ways of knowing and meaning making.

New motivational theory

Standard motivational models tend to conflate the different stages of intrinsic motivation (self-regulation) into a single category or to view intrinsic motivation only in terms of utility (i.e. improved outputs). 

The result is that our current motivational models are no longer fit for purpose in terms of working with higher values, or how to create long-term behavioural change. 

Creating a new and expanded model, utilising insights from neuro-psychology, offers some profound insights on how to create meaningful change on the issues we care about.
