Throughout April and May, we will run Scotland's Stories: Community Campfires, a tour of story making residencies across four Scottish communities.
Working in partnership with local library services in North Ayrshire, Inverclyde, Fife and the Western Isles, we will bring a band of story makers – including Luke Winter and his Story Wagon – to support individuals to tell, make and share the stories that matter to them.
Each residency will end with a Community Campfire – an event for the community to share the stories they have made over the preceding five days.
This project is designed to celebrate the power of storytelling in all forms. There will be opportunities for participants to capture their stories in a variety of ways including the written word, through digital stories, in collaboration with a professional filmmaker and through a recorded conversation. The stories that are created will reflect Scotland's rich tradition of storytelling and the vibrancy of its communities.
