Folkestone StoryMap – The funds will go towards the cost of storytelling workshops in Folkestone’s 24 schools.
Folkestone StoryMap is seven short story podcasts celebrating the town’s people, coastline, history and literary connections accessed via QR codes in the Coastal Park, aiming to inspire future storytellers and encourage children and the community to rediscover the joy of listening to and reading stories.
The town’s museum is providing a free room to hold workshops for schools and for the rest of the community and is keen for writers to use its collections as inspiration for stories.
We will open submission for stories from May to end of June with seven stories chosen blind by a panel of judges. Submissions need to come from people living locally, or anyone with a strong connection to the town.
