On the 21st of April, the CERTIFY project UK team delivered the first of a series of multiplier events organised in collaboration with the very prestigious UK-wide initiative The Making of Black Britain, led by TV and Radio presenter Diane Louise Jordan (here in the photo with the illustrator Karen Sung during the first workshop in London).
Participants had the opportunity to go through the key steps of the Digital Storytelling process, as described in the CERTIFY Handbook, including script writing, storyboarding, audio and video recording.
The card game was one of the tools that revealed to be the most easy to use to stimulate conversations.

The filmmaker Abdi Cadani also joined the first workshop and showed participants how to create and record a voiceover to be combined with a video-portrait (a very interesting technique applied on this occasion).

A screening of all the stories produced will be organised with all the participants to the various events organised as part of this hopefully long-lasting collaboration with The Making of Black Britain.
