About the event
The Silk Rags Project Role-play Workshop is an award-winning educational reading & listening experience which follows the story of 5 friends and how they handle a cancer diagnosis. It explores the topics of Cancer-Ghosting and the well-meaning, but inappropriate comments, that a cancer patient receives from different angles, through laughter and tears, but also lessons learned along the way.
This Role-Play learning resource is designed for hospitals & cancer patient support groups. It is endorsed by Australian Cancer Research Foundation and developed with the assistance of Griffith University. It has been featured on:
