Thousands gather for Dartmoor Ten Tors challenge

The best of luck to all.

Always a wonderful display of determination from teenagers.

At least the weather looks set fair this year. Could well be some mist or fog.

I've written my first #bot! @janegoodbot shares a random story from the #JaneGoodall #RootsAndShoots UK website every 4 hours. The stories are from #schools and #YouthGroups throughout the UK and are about the things they are doing to help people, animals and the #environment.

Do give the bot a follow if that sounds interesting, and boost away so more people can discover it.

Outside my lane yet again, but whenever I think about the malleability of young minds, the Hitler Youth of Germany comes to mind. The children were impressionable and thus indoctrinated into the Nazi ideology. I have only passing knowledge; some German colleagues mentioned that Germany had no equivalent to the Boy and Girl Scouts. My colleagues told me the consensus is #NeverAgain

As a #freelance #creative, the thing I struggle with most is self-promotion and marketing - which unfortunately is a big part of freelancing!

Which is leading up to say, I'm always looking for work. I don't intend to spam the feed on here with this sort of thing, but if anyone is looking for a #storyteller or someone to run #CreativeWorkshops, I have lots of dates available in the new year and beyond.

I have a background in #EFLTeaching and #CreativePractition and can offer #EFLTutoring; performance #Storytelling of #TraditionalStories; #StoryMaking and #CreativeWriting workshops (I have a Masters in Writing for Young People); and #Folklore talks for adults, with a focus on #Northumberland and the #ScottishBorders. I have lots of experience working with #schools and #YouthGroups.

I try to keep my prices affordable, I tailor sessions to the needs of a group, and I can offer online sessions as well as in-person events. I've been working in the above areas for over a decade.

There's more info on my website: https://spindriftstories.wordpress.com/ or just get in touch if you have any queries, ideas, or project ideas!

Apologies for the self-promotion, it won't happen often. Boosts appreciated, but no obligation!
