Speaking & workshops
Invite Laurie to deliver
a story-led session
your pupils will remember.
Laurie delivers engaging assemblies, workshops and author talks that help young people aged 8 to 16 explore identity, rejection, confidence, belonging and resilience through story. Sessions are warm, honest, interactive and age-appropriate — designed to help pupils feel seen without feeling exposed.
Builds emotional language
Stories help young people put words to feelings they may not yet know how to explain. Through character-led storytelling, pupils can explore rejection, identity, belonging and resilience in a safe and age-appropriate way.
Builds belonging safely
The right story can help pupils realise they are not the only ones navigating friendship, rejection, comparison or confidence struggles. Rewritten Roads sessions create space for honest reflection without shame.
Equips the adults too
Schools and parents receive practical conversation prompts, reflection tools and next-step resources to continue the discussion after the session ends.
