Dennese's story

"I have never done something like this before.  The storytelling workshop has helped me to listen to other people and to take their ideas into consideration.  I have become much more confident.  I have learnt more about African culture than I have ever learnt at school."

The 'Bridge That Gap!' project, funded by London Councils with a grant of £82,560, provides storytelling performances and hands-on workshops in traditional African oral storytelling, drama, music, dance, clay making, tie and dye. The intergenerational project encourages participation by people of varied cultural backgrounds and abilities (including those with special needs).
