The Storytelling Reflective Practice Network is an online group for people interested in, or working with, personal narratives, within community development, social care, and health settings. The network provides a meeting space to explore challenges, share best practice, and for testing ideas when working with stories. The network, which is hosted by the George Ewart Evans Centre for Storytelling at the University of South Wales, develops on the ‘Storytelling Conversations’ meetings that were initiated by Anna Suschitzky, Storytelling Development Lead at Mencap Cymru.
The group meets every six weeks via Microsoft Teams and all are welcome to attend. Please email [email protected] to be added to the invitations for future meetings or let us know if there any particular ways that we can support you to attend.
Casglu is a regular online coffee-and-chat space for storytellers, people who work with story, and those whose practice intersects with oral storytelling. It’s a space to discuss themes, challenges, and issues within the craft of storytelling, to share skills, network, and build community with other practitioners of the art form. Our discussions are lively, provocative, and centre around the practical application of storytelling as a performance art form and its use across a range of community and applied settings. All are welcome to join. Please email [email protected] to be added to the mailing list and kept up-to-date with future events.
The George Ewart Evans Centre for Storytelling collaborates with storytellers, artists and people in the creative and cultural industries as well as people who use storytelling in a variety of settings including within communities, education and healthcare. Students, academics and anyone who wants to include storytelling as part of their professional practice will find a wealth of resources at the centre.
