This episode of The Fighting Words Podcast focuses on the Story Seeds Cross Border Project, and features stories, plays, and screenplays, written by young writers who took part in the Story Seeds Cross Border Project. This episode is a joint project of Fighting Words and Fighting Words Northern Ireland and is funded by Creative Ireland and The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
What is Story Seeds? The Story Seeds Project aims to promote a positive sense of self and community through creative expression. The project ran from September 2023 to February 2024. During that time, Fighting Words and Fighting Words Northern Ireland worked with thousands of children and young people and they all have stories to tell. The project facilitators and volunteer mentors brought together schools from the counties Louth, Monaghan, Donegal, Armagh, Down, Derry, Antrim and Belfast, to create new stories, plays, radio plays, and screenplays about where the young writers live and what each of their communities means to them. The project culminated in the creation of many new, brilliant, stories.
Featuring: The Cactus and the Cracken, The Chocolate Quest, Abandoned, Bell’s Island, The Prisoner, Dundalk to Drogheda, and Kick the Can.
