Programme Synopsis We tell ourselves stories all the time. Unfortunately most of the stories we tell ourselves are negative: limiting stories that affect our mood, behaviour, relationships and our future possibilities. Roger Jenkins combines two of his passions - storytelling and Masks - to demonstrate how, while we can't change what happens to us, we can choose how we respond. The Masks create a striking comical physicallisation of our less positive mndsets, while a series of very short traditional stories demonstrate how we can think positively about our potential. If you want to change your life, first you must change your stories, in order to open up a new chapter with hopes of a more positive future. This pre-recorded video has been seen by over 2000 secondary students and received very positive reviews from both students and teachers overseeing the Character Education programme in their schools. The video is available on the Story Stream, another AEP digital offering. The cost is $25 per class for the first 20 classes. Additional classes are priced at $20 per class (a 20% discount). Upon confirmation of booking, the school will receive a passcode with the number of views requested (plus several complimentary views to enable the school to test run the video.) This enables each class to view the video in their own time if that is more convenient. A 60-second trailer can be viewed for free here: https://storystream.com.sg/video/stories-for-ourselves/
