Beltane Breakfasts, Twilights, Brunches and Lunches are informal meetings where people from Edinburgh’s universities, and people who want to work with them, can come to find out more and share information about specific public engagement topics. At this Beltane Brunch, we’ll be hearing what colleagues at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh have learned about digital storytelling through the Big Picnic project.
Colleagues at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh ran a digital storytelling activities aimed at giving a voice to underserved communities about access to nutritious food. Individuals from the communites recorded a short audio track which was then supported by still images. The project team found the great strength of the format was the emotional power of personal stories which could be told without the storyteller needing to speak in front of a large, live audience.
Andy Crofts and Max Coleman, respectively Community Gardener and Science Communicator at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, will be guest speakers at this session.
