Community & Inclusion Workshops
​At Quests-inc, we believe stories have the power to transform not just teams,
but also communities.
Our Co-Creative Storytelling Solution (CCSS) provides a safe and engaging way for participants to step into someone else’s shoes, explore real-world challenges, and reflect on their own perspectives. These workshops go beyond traditional team building, creating spaces for empathy, awareness, and change.
Our Community & Inclusion Programs
​Belfast Art Club is a welcoming creative community that hosts monthly events, inspiring well-being and connection through art. It provides a safe space for artists of all levels to share, collaborate, and grow.
Asylum & Refugee Journeys
​​Step into the shoes of someone fleeing war and seeking safety. Participants experience the dilemmas, fears, and resilience of asylum seekers, helping build empathy and a deeper understanding of global and local issues.
🔹 Best for: Community groups, volunteer training, EDI programmes.
🔹 You’ll gain: Awareness of privilege, greater empathy, and inclusive values.
Homelessness and Resilience
​Experience the realities of homelessness through storytelling. Participants face choices around survival, safety, and systemic barriers, exploring how communities can respond with compassion.
🔹 Best for: Local councils, charities, volunteer networks, schools.
🔹 You’ll gain: Deeper social awareness, practical insight, and empathy-led action.
Coercive Control
​Through immersive storytelling, participants experience the gradual impact of coercive control — financial restriction, isolation, and manipulation — and reflect on the importance of awareness and support.
🔹 Best for: Councillors, service providers, awareness campaigns
🔹 You’ll gain: Greater understanding of abuse dynamics and confidence to support change.
Limitless Applications
The beauty of the CCSS framework is its adaptability. Whatever your challenge — whether it’s raising awareness of social issues, strengthening a community initiative, exploring leadership, or creating a unique induction for new staff — the storytelling framework can be shaped to fit.
​
Suppose your group, team, or organisation is facing a challenge. In that case, we can design a tailored workshop where participants step into the story, learn through experience, and leave with insights they’ll not forget.
Why it works
​Traditional awareness training often struggles to move beyond facts and theory. Our storytelling method brings these issues to life safely and reflectively. Participants don’t just learn about social challenges — they feel them, creating lasting impact.
