Engineers - you have a story to tell!

Engenious Banner

...but do you have the communication skills?

One of the most powerful ways of delivering a message is to tell a story. Being able to create a logical and captivating narrative is essential to this, and these same skills apply equally to writing a grant application or speaking clearly at conferences.

We are offering free digistories workshops run by someone who originally developed the concept for the BBC. These are based around creating short video, telling a personal engineering-related story, from photographs and a recorded script.

The films you create will be used to promote public awareness of engineering, influencing potential engineers of the future and showing them what we really do.

Skills training includes:

Workshop Dates & Synopsis

The workshop runs Thursday 7th, 14th, & 21st May at the University of Salford and participants need to attend all three sessions. There is NO CHARGE for participating, but booking is essential. Day 1 is a group storytelling workshop, where you will learn how to structure and phrase your message, and discuss possible stories with the group. On day 2 you will finish and record your script, and edit and order your pictures. Day 3 is spent matching your pictures to your dialog, putting the final touches, and ends with the world premiere or your film!

The process followed in the workshops is described in the following three video presentations:

Part 1 - What is Digital Storytelling?

Part 2 - How does Digital Storytelling work?

Part 3 - How do you prepare?
