The Digital Story Circle
Telling and Preserving Heritage Stories in the Digital Realm
Heritage tells stories of the past. It strengthens identity, gives meaning to our present and helps negotiate our future. The digital realm has the power to transform heritage stories into inclusive conversations where different perspectives meet to develop a common understanding of present-day challenges.
By engaging diverse users and transcending boundaries of time and place, technologies such as Augmented and Virtual Reality, 3D modelling and artificial intelligence have taken heritage storytelling to the next level.
Telling heritage stories through digital media can foster the creative use of digitally-documented oral histories, creative expressions and performing arts, ensuring the transmission and continuity of humanity’s intangible heritage.
If you are interested in digital storytelling for heritage, engaging new audiences and sustaining such stories in the digital realm, apply online to participate in our upcoming workshop, The Digital Story Circle: Telling and Preserving Heritage Stories in the Digital Realm.
