Tell Us Your Story


This project was set up in a partnership between the BBC, NIACE and the Learning and Skills Councils in the North West. I ran a series of training events for tutors and created a tutors manual. It's available from the BBC RaW site

Interview
Early in the Telling Lives project I was interviewed by Helen O'Connell for a research project called Sightings. A transcript was published on the Kids Own site and serves as a useful summary of how I saw the project in the first weeks of it's existence.

Wales Conference [The BBC has removed this archive]
In November 2003 the BBC hosted an International Digital Storytelling Conference in Cardiff. The conference archive contains some of the best summaries of how digital storytelling began and where it could lead. The conference was sponsored by the BBC, WDA and Cardiff University, but Melanie Lindsell was the person who really made it happen. The archive is a tribute to her hard work.

Telling Stories in the North of England
I was asked to provide this short article for the DSA website. I chose to highlight how Digital Storytelling had changed people's lives, including my own. [The demise of the Digital Storytelling Association means this article is no longer online]

There followed a number of events to which people from the BBC were invited to share their expertise and experience of digital storytelling. One was organised by NMK and BAFTA

As we began to promote the project it frequently made the local newspapers and some professional publications. Here are a couple of examples of how Digital Storytelling was reported.
