The workflow continues

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

I spent Friday morning in East Dorset explaining to a group of people in Wimborne Minster how digital storytelling works. These sessions do me as much good as the people I’m presenting to. Somehow it re-ignites my vision for the whole process, and as the group start to tell stories of their own I get a new sense of how many stories are waiting to be told.

So sometime this spring I shall be in Dorset Training Trainers to deliver workshops of their own.

And on Monday I am at the National Media Museum in Bradford to start a workshop for Broadcast Engineers. The weather’s not looking too kind at the moment (Sunday evening) but hopefully the train will take me there – and those participating.

Ingenious Workshops

The first workshops funded by the Ingenious Fund of the Royal Society of Engineering have been scheduled.

The first is for Railway Engineers at the National Railway Museum in York. The digital storytelling workshop will be held at the museum on three Wednesdays. February 4th & 11th with a final day on March 4th.

The workshop is free and open to professional railway engineers with a story to tell. It’s hoped the stories will raise public awareness of the work of engineers and inspire a new generation of professionals to consider the career. Download a flyer here.

The second is for Broadcast Engineers at the National Media Museum in Bradford on three Mondays. February 9th, 16th and 23rd.

The third is to be held in Southampton on March 31st, April 21st &28th. More details soon.

The completed stories will be displayed at Science and Engineering Fairs  and considered by the BBC for publication on their websites.

I am running these workshops in partnership with the University of Salford and the University of Southampton.
