Creative Storytelling in a City of Stories
Creative storytelling is at the heart of all we do. We learn to tell stories of the past, stories of the present - and stories of our collective future, too. Norwich is a UNESCO World City of Literature, a global contemporary centre of storytelling with a centuries-long cultural heritage and thriving contemporary creative industries. It is known as the 'City of Stories'. UEA's Arts and Humanities Faculty has pioneered the teaching of storytelling for over fifty years, having founded the teaching of Creative Writing in the UK and pioneered the format in which it is now taught across the world. Today, CreativeUEA is one of our university's three interdisciplinary research themes. Come and join us in the City of Stories to sharpen your own creative and interdisciplinary storytelling craft across the fields of heritage, politics, literature, environment, performance, and media.
