Learning through shared stories

Music and storytelling within visits exploring peace and reconciliation.

St Stephen’s University describes storytelling folk shows with Tommy as part of its students’ experiences in Northern Ireland. The university names An Cuan in Rostrevor as a host for these study visits.

Learning in a place and its community

An Cuan’s contribution includes documentary screenings and panel discussions, border walks and storytelling performances. Music sits within a programme that gives visitors opportunities to encounter local experiences as well as study them.

A musical part of the visit

The university’s partner record identifies Tommy’s folk shows as one element of these visits. It offers a specific example of his educational work beyond a conventional concert: meeting students through songs and stories in the community around Rostrevor.
