Andreas Kornevall Storyteller, writer and planter of trees
A welcome return of the wonderful Andreas Kornevall
Andreas grew up in South America, Sweden and Switzerland (Swedish by nationality). After spending several years volunteering with charities around the world, he co-founded www.workingabroad.com - a non-profit volunteering and travelling site.
Andreas also directs a charity called the Earth Restoration Service Charity, the charity aims to enhance ecological integrity, by planting new woodlands around the world. Under: www.earthrestorationservice.org - he has signed up over a thousand schools across the British Isles whose students have planted over two hundred woodlands. ERS's work has been endorsed and recognised by “the elders” which are made of world leaders and set up by musician Peter Gabriel.
ERS also provided trees and ideas for the Andover United Programme that won the Environmental Observer Prize.
In response to the sixth mass extinction Andreas co-founded the Life Cairn movement: memorials for species rendered extinct at human hands, more about that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_Cairn
Andreas’ new book: Waking the Dragons, is out with Green Magic Publishing.
As a storyteller and independent scholar of mythology, he works
with old myths and fairytales that shine a torchlight on life’s
difficult and mesmerising journey; his stories tend to gravitate
around the Northern and Greek mythological landscapes. You
may find Andreas telling a story on a hillside, by a fire, in a
woodland somewhere, at a festival, or in a school.
