Orkney’s Story Stack project was on view at an exhibition hosted by the Orkney Library & Archive on Saturday 13th of July.
Mark Jenkins and Rebecca Marr, Orkney’s appointed Digital Storytellers, worked with local groups to tell their personal stories whilst developing important digital skills. Participants used digital technology such as iPads, microphones and editing software, to produce a narrated story accompanied by photographs and visual footage.
Rebecca Marr explains the planning process
The stimulus for the stories might be images or objects which would enable the storytellers to plan and produce their stories.
The way the stories evolved produces a relaxed and natural voice in the storytellers.
The project was managed and supported locally by Orkney Library and Archive, who received training to help ensure that digital storytelling activities can continue beyond the end of this project. The 6 kits (iPads, microphones, headphones and software) have remained with the library and loaned out free of charge
