Lincolnshire Folk Tales: Origins, Legacies, Connections, Futures
We are working on an exciting research project with young storytellers, exploring Lincolnshire Folk Tales.
'Lincolnshire Folk Tales: Origins, Legacies, Connections, Futures’ is a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/Y003225/1), and is led by Dr Rory Waterman and the Research Fellow Dr Anna Milon in the School of Arts and Humanities at Nottingham Trent University. The project explores the origins, legacies, intertextual and social connections and futures of Lincolnshire folk tales, and is intended to facilitate wider engagement with this heritage from writers, the general public, and scholars.
AHRC Lincolnshire Folk Tales Young Storytellers Project is led by Adverse Camber and produced by Aly Stoneman. The youth engagement section of the wider project aims to connect young people with their local heritage and help them develop their oral story-making skills. It focuses on the inventiveness and creativity of young storytellers, exploring how they interpret the legends and folktales of their places, passing them on into the future.
Listen to the stories created!
During the storytelling workshops, we captured what happened and the stories that the young people created. So grab yourself a cuppa and listen to the Podcasts, edited by digital producer Marc Reck.
