SSF Birthday podcast episode 1

We had a chat with Natalie, one of our great students from Settlement Neighbourhood about her experiences at the Sydney Story Factory.

We've been working with Natalie since 2016 now and in that time we have seen her confidence grow and her writing flourish. She still talks about the 'Bug's Eye View' workshop where students were asked to imagine and write about how the world would look from a bug's perspective.

Thanks for all the great stories Natalie, it has been an absolute pleasure seeing your progression and we can't wait to see what ideas you come up with next!
