Come and join us to hear children from somewhere else in the world, aged between 9 and 12 years old, tell you tales filled with adventure, humour, and love.‘Bedtime Stories’ inverts the paradigm of adults being the ones telling children bedtime stories. Taking advantage of international time differences, children in one country tell bedtime stories to adults in another country in a series of one-to-one live-streamed encounters, connecting the world through storytelling.By empowering the next generation to share their stories using technology, and engaging with the global issue of safeguarding children on the internet, ‘Bedtime Stories’ celebrates the oral tradition as an avenue for preserving the diverse culture of the world we live in.This tripartite global exchange of stories will begin with children in Montréal (Canada) telling stories to the residents of Norfolk (UK), continues with children in Singapore telling tales to those in Montreal, and later in the year, the children of Norwich will tell stories to adults in Singapore, completing the nocturnal cycle of ‘Bedtime Stories'.Sweet dreams …‘Bedtime Stories’ was created by Joshua Sofaer, 2022.
