Storytelling training and consultancy for research and public engagement—helping academics and researchers design activities audiences connect with.

The latest episode of the ReStorying the Earth podcast is now available (and we're now on Apple Podcasts). In this episode I talk to Svend-Erik Engh, a Danish storyteller, about plans to bring a Folkehøjskole ('folk high school') to Scotland. In our conversation, Svend-Erik shares the origins of Folkehøjskole in Denmark, the role of mythology in learning and the impact this form of education has on students and society. There is some master storytelling here as well, as Svend-Erik shares with us the myth of Odin hanging from Yggdrasil, the sacred world tree. https://lnkd.in/d2PEQwc
