About this Event

Connected Communities: Creative Storytelling Workshops

Join a series of welcoming creative workshops at the Centre for Local Studies, Darlington Library, exploring stories of place, memory, and belonging.

Using local photographs, maps, and archival materials, participants will create visual responses through creative activities including:

  • Zine-making
  • Visual storytelling
  • Reminiscence boxes

These sessions invite people to reflect on personal memories, migration stories, neighbourhood histories, and connections to Darlington.

No artistic experience is needed - just curiosity and a willingness to share.

  • Library users
  • People interested in local history
  • People from migrant and refugee backgrounds
