FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You asked, We answered

What is Co-Creative Storytelling (CCSS)?

CCSS is an immersive, facilitated experience where participants step into a shared story, take on roles, and navigate challenges together.

It combines storytelling, experiential learning, and group dynamics to help people:

Build trust and connection
Practise communication and leadership
Experience different perspectives
Reflect and learn in real time

This is not passive training — it’s a live environment where behaviours, decisions, and strengths become visible.

How is this different from traditional training or workshops?

Most training tells people what to do.
CCSS allows people to experience it for themselves.

Instead of slides and theory, participants:

Make decisions under pressure
Work through challenges together
Reveal real behaviours in action

👉 This leads to deeper engagement, stronger retention, and meaningful behavioural change

What kind of outcomes can we expect?

Depending on the story and objectives, outcomes may include:

Stronger team connection and trust
Improved communication and collaboration
Greater empathy and understanding across groups
Increased engagement and energy
Clearer visibility of strengths and behaviours
More meaningful onboarding experiences

What types of organisations is this for?

CCSS works across a wide range of sectors, including:

Corporate teams and leadership groups
HR and Learning & Development
Community and public sector organisations
Schools and youth programmes

If your focus is people, culture, or collaboration, this approach can be adapted to your context.

What stories do you offer?

The Mountain Journey – connection, identity, and collaboration across difference
The Crossing – empathy, displacement, and human perspective

Each story is fully facilitated and adaptable to your objectives.

Can you tailor a story to our organisation?

Yes — and this is where a lot of the real impact happens.

We regularly co-create bespoke story experiences based on:

Your team challenges
Your organisational culture
Your learning or development goals

There are no limits — if you can imagine it, we can build it together.

How long are the sessions?

Sessions are flexible and can range from:

2–3 hour immersive workshops
Half-day or full-day experiences
Multi-session programmes
Leadership or team development series

We design the format around your objectives and availability.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is tailored based on:

Session length
Group size
Level of customisation
Overall programme design

As a guide:

Workshops typically start from £600 per session.

We always begin by understanding your goals and designing an experience that delivers meaningful impact and value.

Discounts are available for charities and group bookings, and we can also support you with funding applications where needed.

What do you need from us to get started?

Very little.

We take care of:

Story design
Materials and facilitation
Structure and delivery

We simply ask for:

A suitable space
Basic group information
A short conversation to align on outcomes

Is this suitable for new hires or onboarding?

Absolutely.

CCSS is particularly powerful for onboarding because it:

Builds connection quickly
Helps people feel part of a team from day one
Brings company values to life through experience

👉 Instead of being told about the culture, people experience it together.

Do you provide case studies or examples?

Yes.

We have worked with:

Councils and Good Relations teams
Community organisations
Youth programmes
Team and leadership groups

👉 Case studies and examples can be shared on request or explored during a discovery call.

What makes this approach effective?

CCSS is grounded in:

Experiential learning
Narrative psychology
Social learning and group dynamics

Put simply:

People don’t change because they are told something new — They change because they experience something differently.

Can this work alongside our existing training?

Yes.

CCSS doesn’t replace your existing programmes — it enhances them by adding:

Engagement
emotional connection
behavioural insight

It works especially well alongside leadership, EDI, and team development initiatives.

Is it suitable for sensitive topics (e.g. diversity, bias, wellbeing)?

Yes — carefully and intentionally.

Because CCSS uses fictional and guided story environments, participants can explore complex or sensitive topics:

Safely
Without pressure
With space for reflection

This often leads to more open and honest conversations.
