Listen to the Lincolnshire Folk Tales Young Storyteller Podcasts
Programme delivery started with a week-long summer storymaking ensemble project in Lincoln with participants aged 8-15, led by storyteller Pyn Stockman and supported by folk musician Ann Jones, with special guest storyteller Thor Ewing and folklorist Maureen James. During the autumn term, Adverse Camber delivered 9 days of story-making workshops in Skegness Junior Academy, Dunston St Peters CofE Primary School, and St Mary's Catholic Primary Academy in Brigg. Pyn (Stockman) worked with 80 x Years 4, 5 and 6 pupils to explore traditional Lincolnshire Folktales and create new ones. An afternoon workshop on Saturday 16 November as part of the UK Young Storytellers Festival took place in Lincoln Central Library.
Recorded stories from young people taking part in the project have been professionally edited by digital producer Marc Reck into a podcast series.
