Song from Story Valley Project
Edinburgh College Music students did a Story Valley project for their Songwriting unit. The theme of the project was "We're Aw Jock Tamson's Bairns" and the band 'Arthur Hill' said of this song: "The song was about the Story Valley project theme of everyone being united and ultimately being the same, and also about relationships and the process of healing."
Story Valley Project Concert
"We're Aw Jock Tamson's Bairns: As part of the Storyvalley project, Edinburgh College music students write and perform songs exploring the feelings, thoughts and experiences that bring us together as human beings."
Scottish International Storytelling Festival

Journalism workshop at SMGŠ
Students attended a workshop from professional journalist Kristina Božič as part of the project "Zgodilo se je čisto blizu nas" at Ljubljana Multimedia and Graphic Technology Secondary School in collaboration with Ljubljana UNESCO City of Literature marking the 30th anniversary of the beginning of war and the arrival of BiH migrants to Slovenia.
King of cherries
This project was made by students from Friesland College (the Netherlands), Edinburgh College (Scotland) and Srednja Medijska in Grafična Sola Ljubljana (Slovenia).
Students told stories from their own culture and hit on one that they all enjoyed – the story of the ‘king of cherries’ who was said to live in a castle near to one of the students, and throw cherries at his attackers.
The students combined their different skills to create a short, comical, film reinterpreting the old story.

Story Valley Book: Mieszko the Dragon
This book was made by students from the Netherlands, Scotland, and Slovenia. Students told stories from their own culture and worked together to create a new story.

Carnivaland - song and website
This project was made by students from Friesland College (the Netherlands), Edinburgh College (Scotland) and Srednja Medijska in Grafična Sola Ljubljana (Slovenia).
Students came together and found a common thread between their three cultures – ‘Carnival’ celebrations.
Each student had different qualities as they all went to different schools with different specialisms. They decided that they wanted to make something which related to all these differences. So they made a website (two students were web developers), and they made a song which they performed and filmed for the website (two students were filmmakers/editors).

Story Valley students publish school newspaper
In Ljubljana, Slovenia students from a range of subjects at Srednja medijska in grafična šola created a newspaper, having researched real-life stories of refugees to Slovenia.
On Tuesday 10th May, the students taking part in Story Valley at Srednja medijska in grafična šola presented their special issue of the school newspaper Pixel. Over the course of their Story Valley journey, the students in Ljubljana have been learning more about the lives, stories and histories of people who have sought refuge in Slovenia, coinciding with the commemoration of thirty years since the start of the Bosnian War which saw many people move from Bosnia to Slovenia.

'Run Yer Ain Race' by Gerry Campbell
A song written by HND Music student Gerry Campbell at Edinburgh College as part of a Story Valley pilot project.
The project was based around the concept of 'We're Aw Jock Tamson's Bairns' which is a Scots saying meaning 'we're all the same'. The class used the Story Valley approach to develop lyrics in Scots, or in the student's chosen language, and write a song based on these lyrics. This performance is taken from Discover Story Valley, an event to showcase and share the Story Valley model at The Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, in January 2023.
