The Crawfordjohn Primary School Storytelling Project
From September to November 2008, pupils from Crawfordjohn Primary School worked with Crawfordjohn Heritage Venture on a storytelling project.
The project was supported by Museums Galleries Scotland, South Lanarkshire Council and Inner Ear. Over six workshops, pupils learned how to describe museum objects, interview members of the local community and tell stories about their local area.
The original project images are no longer available, but the surviving audio recordings are preserved below as part of the museum’s digital archive.
