building confidence and creativity through story

The Story Island Project is a nipaluna/Hobart-based not-for-profit organisation that nurtures the creativity and writing skills of young Tasmanians and celebrates their diverse voices.

With the support of our enthusiastic volunteer mentors, Story Island runs dynamic storytelling workshops where young people are empowered to create their own stories. Workshops are provided at no cost to schools, with a focus on working with young people living in communities vulnerable to experiencing poverty and marginalisation. 



Our vision is for young people to harness the power of their imaginations so they can grow to be resilient and creative shapers of their own lives.
