‘The more you tell a story, the stronger the story becomes’
Telling stories of strength
Our research is community-led and owned.
We’ve used group planning and research design, collaborative songwriting, song recording and reflective yarning to ensure our partners are determining the research process – and that we are creating music and knowledge collectively.
The participatory research approach mirrors the Sound FX process – embracing co-design, facilitation and collaboration while also tapping into current events and concerns.
These co-creation approaches not only produce new knowledge, but they also put community strengths and wisdom front and centre, making sure stories of strength are the stories that are shared and retold.
The Baya Gawiy songwriting project is showing all of us the many ways that the wellbeing benefits of music and songwriting not only strengthen the old stories, but also help new stories to be sung, told, and shared well beyond the kindergarten walls.
