Welsh Engineering Stories aims to bring together heritage professionals, engineers, and school students to tell the story of how engineering has shaped the culture, place and people of South Wales in the past, present and future.
Swansea University will work in collaboration with 15 engineers in South Wales, who will be trained in storytelling, to write the stories of their engineering careers. They’ll then visit Year 9 classes in local schools to share their stories and help the pupils create their own stories of their imagined future as engineers, and how they could shape their local area. The project will culminate in an exhibition of these stories at the Waterfront Museum in Swansea.
