A digital storytelling project, coordinated by Scottish Book Trust in partnership with Leisure and Culture Dundee and run by Dan Brown, Dundee’s appointed Digital Storyteller, worked with local groups across the city to tell their personal stories, whilst developing important digital skills.
Dan has inspired residents across Dundee to create digital stories and discover technology in a fun and meaningful way. He delivered digital storytelling sessions to a wide range of groups, including visually impaired participants, volunteers, mental health groups and local heritage organisations. Around 150 people have been involved in the We Are Dundee project some of which you can see here.
Following a successful pilot of the project in 2017, in Ayrshire and Fife, Scottish Book Trust was funded by the Scottish Government to support Digital Storytelling residencies in five library locations: Leisure and Culture Dundee, East Ayrshire Leisure, Falkirk Community Trust, Inverclyde Libraries, and Orkney Library and Archive.
We Are Dundee is part of Scottish Book Trust’s national Digital Storytellers in Residence project. All of the stories from the project are available to watch at digital-stories.scot.
