Story Giants

PACT's book from the Story Giants project: "Let the Giants Live - Stories to share from the Eden Valley" has been short listed in the Lakeland Book of the Year 2012 awards.  There are five categories with a winner for each and an overall winner.

There is a Charity Lunch and Awards Ceremony on 10th July 2012 at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal. The books will be discussed by the judges Hunter Davies, Fiona Armstrong and Eric Robson.

Schools from Eden District will tell stories about giants of their community outside St Andrews in the centre of Penrith on May Day, Monday 2nd May, later taking part in the parade through the town.  Each school is accompanied by a 4 metre high Story Giant carnival puppet and processional music from BlueJam.

Final rehearsal for May Day.

We would love it if some PACT volunteers were able to help out at this rehearsal.   The time needed would be from about 9am until sometime after noon.

This is not a public event.

This twlight training session will provide teaching staff with insight into the tradition of oral storytelling and to teach skills and techniques to enable staff to contribute fully and to make a good project into a great one. A representative from each participating school will be expected to take part.
