National Storytelling Week
National Storytelling Week is starting. Tomorrow I’m off to Swansea to tell Shemi stories at the National Waterfront Museum. Next week, there’s lots more work in Barnet following the first day of my new programme of work there this Wednesday. More on that later – it was great to tell stories with very responsive classes and to talk with some very interested and responsive teachers.
Meantime, there’s a lot of catching up to do. New Zealand was fantastic. It’s given me real inspiration for thinking about how to inspire children and adults to look after the natural environment. Also, from listening to the way Maori people approach their language and culture with such pride and confidence and clarity, it’s prompted a lot of thoughts about how to present Welsh stories, Welsh ideas and the Welsh language to people who may know little or nothing of Wales at all. More soon.
