We offer a range of services that are shaped around the people we work with, and often include the use of digital story, these include-

The majority of Storylines work in delivered in collaboration, enabling us to benefit a wide range of people of all ages. Storylines have experience working across a range of sectors including social, cultural, heritage and environmental. Our past clients include the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, Tate St.Ives, the Hall for Cornwall, Cornwall Council, PK Porthcurno, Bude Climate Partnership, and the University of Exeter, as well as numerous community groups and creative practitioners.

We use a variety of creative approaches together with digital storytelling, which provide a fantastic way to celebrate and creatively share stories. A digital story is a short (3-5 minutes), accessible film that feature a first-hand story, accompanied by images or video. Digital storytelling is an extremely powerful and therapeutic process and this journey is just as important as the outcome.

Our latest projects

We are currently developing an exciting new project to explore and celebrate the work of women on the land in Cornwall. Throughout history, women have played a vital and often undocumented role in working and caring for the land. Within living memory our relationship with the land has changed drastically. Whether hand milking the cows before anyone else was out of bed or painstakingly picking violets to send on the train to London, if the land could talk it would tell countless stories of the strong and knowledgeable women who have walked its soils. By recording oral histories from these women and uncovering personal archives such as diaries and photo albums, Storylines hopes to honour these hidden histories.
