Since 2023, a key part of the Digital Storytelling Festival has been our Online Creative Residency, which brings students and new professionals who want to gain storytelling skills in a professional setting together with experts. Working with these experts, residency participants develop stories with cultural heritage in different digital formats.
The theme for 2024 is ‘journey’ and, to add to writing, social media and animation, we’ve introduced two new formats - collage art and storytelling with 3D. 3D is also in focus as we are also encouraging participants to use a new set of 3D items from the Twin it! campaign in their stories.
Applications for the residency are now closed, but you can find out more about the mentors who work with participants below. We will also add the results of the residency programme on the page when they are available!
