Building Bridges - the Difficult Conversations Project and Berwick Literary Festival

Chris, Storyteller and Spoken Word Artist has been working with the local Academy School on this project which has been inspired by an inconspicuous plaque near Berwick Old Bridge that claims the parliaments of both England and Scotland met at this point to settle the boundary dispute between the two countries. This is the starting point but where has it taken them ? Find out how this project shows the many connections between history, education and the arts as well as collaboration with a range of different individuals and bodies, young people, historians, archivists, storytellers and many more. Also, find out about this year's festival and the events exploring the theme "Bridging the Divide" which have been inspired by the town's Bridge 400 celebrations.
