Summary

Are you a podcaster, writer, storyteller, filmmaker or photojournalist interested in sharing positive stories of community climate action, social justice or climate solutions? SCCAN is offering seven mini-grants of £250 each to support seven projects focused on climate action and climate justice from storytellers who would like to contribute to SCCAN’s Storytellers Collective.

The Storytellers Collective is a growing group of Scotland-based storytellers whose aim is to give voice to inspiring stories of community-led climate action. We want to engage wider audiences in conversations around positive actions and visions for a just transition into a better tomorrow for communities around Scotland.

What will they fund?

• Podcast episodes to be published in 1000 Better Stories
• Short blogs to be published in 1000 Better Stories. These could include short films and photo essays.
• Other formats are also welcome such as audio walks, comic strips, illustration or mixed media, as long they tell a story.

• Community-led climate action
• Social justice

And at least one of these topics:

• About or involving a member of SCCAN
