Steeltown Storybook: Children’s Chapter

The Steeltown Storybook: Children’s Chapter was established to ensure that the young people of Port Talbot are not merely spectators to the town’s industrial transition, but active co-authors of its future narrative. By engaging 300 children aged 7–11 from local primary schools, the project sought to bridge the gap between the town’s historical identity and the lived experiences of its young people. This Arts and Humanities Research Council Impact Accelerator Account (AHRC IAA) funded project provided a platform for children to articulate how they navigate their communities, perceive their past, and envision a healthier future.
