[ecrea] Untold - Digital Storytelling at UEL

UEL is hosting Untold a week-long programme of activities exploring 
Digital Storytelling theory and practice from across the world.
Digital Storytelling is a workshop based process where people with 
little or no experience of media production learn to tell a personal 
story using their own material.  It is widely used in community 
settings, in the museum and archives sector, by healthcare 
professionals, in Higher Education, international development work and 
in youth work.

We are now able to offer places at two special events which will be of 
interest to academics using participatory media methodologies, media 
practitioners and those concerned with representation and voice in the 
media.

1.	A one day Un-Conference on Weds 12th July where academics, 
practitioners and community groups can come together to both share 
experience of Digital Storytelling and develop new participatory media 
projects. 2.	A one day masterclass in Digital Storytelling Facilitation 
on Thurs 13th July.

UnTold UnConference
This is an opportunity to join academics, practitioners and activists 
from around the world on the development of new Digital Storytelling 
projects across six themes.  As well as UK participants, attendees are
