BIRTHING STORIES: WORKSHOP 2

Women came together to share experiences of pregnancy, birth and motherhood through creativity and conversation, bringing together voices and perspectives from different cultures and backgrounds.


A warm thank you to all the women who took part and shared their experiences, and to Dr Veronica Barnsley from the University of Sheffield, Shirin Teifouri from Connected Worlds, and Natasha Smith from Eden Script for leading the workshop with warmth, creativity and care.

BIRTHING STORIES: WORKSHOP 1

The first of two Birthing Stories workshops, supported by Furaha Women, created a space for women to share birth stories across cultures and generations.


Women from seven different countries took part, each sharing their own stories and experiences.


The workshop was led by Dr Veronica Barnsley from the University of Sheffield, Shirin Teifouri from Connected Worlds, and Natasha Smith from Eden Script.


Thank you to all the women who shared their stories, and to everyone who helped lead and support the workshop.
