*Virtual Storytelling Project - Story Team*
Why not get involved with Durham County Council's exciting new virtual storytelling project for families?
We know there is nothing quite like losing yourself in a good book and this project involves families in actually shaping the adventure as it is being written.
County Durham artist Ruth Mary Johnson read the opening of the story via the Durham County Council YouTube channel on Tuesday, 5 May, at 2.00pm. Guided by Ruth, families are invited to come up with suggestions for what happens next, either with a drawing, sentence or just a single word with the next instalments being read every Tuesday until the finished story is released on Friday 5 June.
