The aim of this project is to train UK research postgraduates and Early Career Researchers in the art of storytelling . Learning to tell stories helps hone general communication skills, enabling participants to disseminate their research more confidently. The further aim of the project is to enable participants to engage in outreach .
Professional storytellers Daniel Morden and Jenny Moon provided dedicated workshops in April 2014, designed to develop participants’ story adaptation and performance skills. Following this training – and extensive rehearsal at ‘Story Circle’ meetings – participants have gone on to perform medieval stories to schoolchildren.
