The Unheard Project aims to use storytelling as a powerful tool for empathy, awareness, and social change. We believe that personal narratives can challenge stereotypes, humanise complex issues, and inspire meaningful action within and beyond the university community.

Our aims and objectives: Amplify Voices: Provide individuals and communities with a respectful, safe platform to share their lived experiences.

• Amplify Voices: Provide individuals and communities with a respectful, safe platform to share their lived experiences.
• Educate & Inspire: Use storytelling to raise awareness of overlooked social issues such as homelessness, disability, migration, and mental health.
• Build Bridges: Foster empathy and understanding between university students and local or global communities through authentic, human-centred stories.
• Create Impact: Partner with charities and NGOs whose missions align with our projects, using storytelling and creative fundraising to support their work.
• Empower Storytellers: Equip students with practical skills in filmmaking, photography, interviewing, and editing to tell impactful stories ethically — in collaboration with societies such as Theatre and Drama.
• Encourage Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Connect students from arts, media, social sciences, and humanitarian fields to co-create meaningful documentary projects.
• Nurture Creativity for Good: Inspire students to use artistic expression not only as a form of creativity but as a catalyst for advocacy and social change.
