Suitcase Stories

The stories

Watch the films created as part of the Suitcase Stories project.

We worked with young people of different ages (mainly 11-17) to develop storytelling performances based around props that could pack into a suitcase.

The young people worked in groups to select, research and devise their stories. As they did so they learnt about how different communities around the world are adapting to climate change, about the potential of storytelling to communicate, and develop their skills, leadership and sense of agency.

You can watch each of their films in the gallery below.
