About this Event

In this workshop we'll explore how to use your archives to tell online stories that engage curiosity and introduce new people to your group.

Through a series of structured participative exercises, we'll think about online audiences, and the story elements that appeal to them. We'll look at how stories can be realised using words, images and video; and at the temptations and pitfalls of using generative AI. You'll leave the workshop with practical ideas to take back to your organisation and try out.
This will be an interactive session with plenty of discussion and time for questions. Refreshments and lunch provided.
