The Suitcase Project

This April will see the launch of The Suitcase Project. I am starting an initiative which takes suitcases as its starting point. The aim is to encourage groups of people to bring a precious object and tell their story through it. Each item will be placed in a suitcase and another person will pick out an object that interests them. They might try to guess its purpose to begin with, or ask whose object it is. I hope to do three different types of workshop. One with bereaved people, one with people who live in the UK but have come here from a different homeland, one with Church and community groups. The aim of the workshops is to strenghthen relationships and bring healing through the sharing of our personal stories in a safe environment.
