About the Occupational Narratives Database

The Occupational Narratives Database provides a platform for people to view digital stories about occupations. The varied stories broaden our perspectives of occupation and enhance our sense of belonging to the global community. Together, we can increase the global knowledge of the meaning of everyday “doing” or occupations of people in a variety of contexts and environments from a range of ages, backgrounds and ability levels. The introductory video provides more information about how you can use the Occupational Narratives Database.

Look at the different narratives in the Database. Reflect on the diverse occupations that give meaning to people’s lives. Consider how the digital stories highlight the relationship of occupation and wellbeing, and barriers that prevent participation and result in occupational deprivation.
