Scottish Book Trust: Summer workshop applications now open

The Scottish Book Trust has opened applications for its Sensory Stories Summer Roadshow taking place 14-17 July.

The Roadshow features four storytellers touring Scotland and delivering free bespoke workshops and storytelling sessions in a variety of settings, including schools, community groups, nurseries, and other groups supporting children with additional support needs.

Sensory storytelling is intended to engage with children with additional support needs through sensory storytelling, including music, props use, and movement, and to empower them to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment.

The workshops will be delivered by four storytellers with extensive experience in sensory storytelling: Dara Macaleece, Carol Scorer, Marion Kenny, and Betty Skelton. Each will deliver a unique workshop based on their experience and expertise, as well as the needs of each successful applicant.

The deadline to apply is Friday 27 June, and all applications will be assessed by a selection panel prior to selection.
