Faith & Community @CampuLife and Swansea University Libraries & Archives have come together to celebrate National Storytelling Week. Stories entertain and connect us. Storytelling can offer a link to our own cultural history and help us understand other peoples. Whether you want to tell your own story or hear stories from our communities, there are events and activities to join in with.
Stories from the Archives
Join the Richard Burton Archives all week on Twitter as they share students’ stories from the University collections. Tales of sporting triumph, tragic events, and life beyond lectures, will be told through photographs, news articles, and other material from the archives. Follow @SwanUniArchives and #StudentStories for a different story each day.
