“The workshop was fun, thought provoking and inclusive… you took time to understand what we wanted to achieve, and our collective thoughts.  The images are fantastic. Thank you.”

REFLECTION, EXPRESSION & CREATION in COMMUNITY…

A transformative journey through co-creation workshops, where reflection, expression, and creation converged to celebrate the invaluable work of NHS nurses. The workshops took place at the CNS Nurses Annual Conference, where attendees delved into a space meticulously crafted for connection and deep reflection.

Stage 1: Crafting the Experience

Our journey began with the design phase, where I collaborated closely with Macmillan and NHS teams, drawing upon a rich toolkit spanning graphic facilitation, co-creation methodologies, gestalt principles, art therapy, theatre improvisation, and illustration. This holistic approach aimed to honour both the practical, intellectual and emotional dimensions of the nurses’ experiences.

Stage 2: Immersion in the Process

The workshop was an embodied space (no chairs!) where, through interactive dynamics, participants explored their roles and contributions. Individual reflections evolved into collective narratives, fostering a rich tapestry of ideas, observations, and emotions. This manifested in a communal mural, symbolising their shared journey.

Stage 3: Sharing the Collective Vision

After the event, I turned the mural into a vibrant illustration, to represent their community and amplify their insights. This final Rich Picture, a testament to their dedication and resilience, was shared across the UK, amplifying the voices of CNS Cancer Nurses and celebrating their invaluable contributions.
