Word Travels Albany

Word Travels is a touring zine-making workshop designed to support you to navigate intentional disclosure and Lived Experience

Hosted by Integrity Initiative and Maeson’s Soapbox, this workshop creates a space to slow down, connect, and explore how we share our lived experiences intentionally and with care for ourselves and others.

Through open conversations and creative reflection, we’ll unpack what lived experience really means, why conscious care matters, and how to share stories in ways that feel empowering rather than exposing. Word Travels will explore the dignity of risk whilst keeping in mind the roles, rights and responsibilities of those involved. 

Everyone will create their own Lived Experience Zine which will serve as a personal reflection tool and reminder that your story is yours to tell, in your own time and your own way. Zines can then be shared on the Soapbox Zine Library and through Integrity Initiative resources.

No art skills or public speaking needed just curiosity, compassion, and an open mind.
