Field guide to making your storytelling panel project happen

Sharing the stories of your community and place is a wonderful way of inviting new audiences to appreciate and care for our special places.

For this to be effective, it is important that the stories we tell and the way they are presented are inspiring, inclusive and appealing. That is why Herenga ā Nuku Aotearoa and WildLab have developed a field guide.

Field guide to making your storytelling panel project happen

This Field Guide's purpose is to help grow the capacity of the country’s many great trail groups and trusts to share stories along their local trails. Together, we’ve been working with Ride Coromandel and Tiaki Maniototo to develop the panels that are the Field Guide’s case studies. They have agreed to be the champions, supporters and mentors for other community trail groups that want to develop their own storytelling panels. In this Field Guide they share their new knowledge and expertise with you, so you too can apply it and can pass what you learn forward.

The Field Guide outlines the key steps to realising your trail group storytelling project. It is focused on managing the project so you get great outcomes that everyone can be proud of.

We hope you find inspiration in our Field guide to making your storytelling panel project happen. We’d love to hear your comments, ideas, and tips too.
