Resources

Storylines produces innovative and exciting narrative resources for all ages. These extend the reach of the stories we gather and provide different ways for people to explore places or themes. On this page you will find some of the resources we have produced. These all use stories as a starting point for learning and creativity. Please feel free to share and use these.

Our Bude, Our Stories- Toolkits for the Bude Climate Partnership

As part of a wider project led by the Bude Climate Partnership, Storylines spent time around Bude collecting memories, reflections and photographs that explored the areas heritage, culture and environment. The resulting digital stories form the heart of 9 innovative toolkits. These aim to help the community share their own memories, learn from others and consider what’s important to their community in the face of a changing climate. These narrative resources can be downloaded and have been adapted for online use also. 

The more we understand what we are facing and talk it through with each other, the more we will feel empowered to take the actions necessary to future proof a thriving, resilient community and a healthier planet for everyone.
