The Our Stories Project is a new ESRC Grant that has started just this month (Economic and Social Research Council). It is held between Professor Sarah Parsons (Education) and Dr Hanna Kovshoff (Psychology) from the University of Southampton and Professor Nicola Yuill (Chatlab, Psychology) from the University of Sussex.

The grant will work with a technology company to investigate new ways of using shared video stories developed in Southampton to support participation of individuals in their health, education and social care when they may not use verbal expression – for example, in transition to a new school or in healthcare.
