WHERE A BIRD SOUNDS LIKE A BABY CRYING -
Among the Dying Villages of Europe
Presented by Tom Pow
It is estimated that by 2030 Europe will lose one third of its population. Most affected will be the rural areas. In 2007, Tom Pow received a Creative Scotland Award “to write poetry and prose pieces which explore the cultural and natural ecology of dying villages in Europe”. His travels to dying villages took him from Northern Spain to Russia. In this presentation, he will outline what he found and share some of what he has made of his findings. Lastly, he wishes to engage with the audience on a linked storytelling project – The Village and The Road
The event takes place in the Zen Room in the ATRiuM campus. Please email storytelling@glam.ac.uk if you would like to attend.
