”Stafrænar sögur í RA – þróun og þroski” (Digital Storytelling at the RA – Growth and Progress) is a subproject within the project “Stafrænar sögur í RA (Digital Storytelling at the ReykjavíkAcademy”. The digital storytelling team at RA has lead workshops in digital storytelling for young people as well as adults in Reykjavík and has cooperated with contacts in the Nordic countries. The members of the team: Salvör Aradóttir (project manager), Sólveig Ólafsdóttir and Ólafur Hrafn Júlíusson, have participated in workshops for trainers at Digital Storylab in Copenhagen. To further develop the project “Digital Storytelling at the ReykjavikAcademy (RA)” so it may become a powerful center for digital storytelling with competence in organizing different workshops for all kinds of target groups it is necessary to broaden the project teams insight, practical as well as theoretical, in how the method is used in Europe. The aim of the project “Digital Storytelling at the RA – Growth and Progress” is therefore to train and develop the competence of the team of digital storytelling and broaden their horizon further by getting to know how the methodology of digital storytelling has grown and developed in UK and elsewhere in Europe. Our goal is also to focus on contacts and networks with European organizations similar to RA concerning digital storytelling and to find possible project partners in the field of digital culture and storytelling. For this purpose the ReykjavikAcademy (Digital Storytelling at the RA – Growth and Progress) in 2014 applied for two grants from Erasmus+, one for the project manager to a field trip to UK and another for a trip for three persons to Malta. We got the smaller grant, for a field trip for one (the project manager) to UK. The trip was made in the period 13.-18. December 2015. Salvör Aradóttir, the project manager, holds a MA degree in Theater and Performance Studies from The University of Copenhagen and works as a translator and conference interpreter. The receiving part in UK was Tricia Jenkins who runs, in cooperation with Mark Dunford, the non-profit research company DigiTales Ltd. DigiTales, hosted by Goldsmiths, London University, has for many years worked within digital storytelling in the context of different target groups and participated in big European projects. For the moment she is working on a Phd project about how digital storytelling may be used with older people and how micro narratives can function as basis for research. During the field-trip the project manager got the opportunity to shadow a workshop of digital storytelling hosted by DigiTales Ltd. The workshop was at the Goldsmiths, London university where the working conditions in the media departments computer suite was very good. The workshop was a part of the Erasmus+ project StoryAbroad. The StoryAbroad project is cooperation among many youth organizations from USA, Brazil and many European countries. Among the aims of the project was to study how the method of digital storytelling may be used to work with the knowledge and experience of young people from staying abroad for longer or shorter period. During the workshop 10 participants made digital stories about their experience of 10 days trip to South-Africa/Netherlands. During the workshop the project manager also had the opportunity for informal discussion about digital storytelling in higher education at Brighton University. After the workshop I had inspiring discussion with Tricia Jenkins about her work as a volunteer with older people in Deptford where she lives in the South-East part of London. My trip to London has given me insight and broadened my horizon about how the method of digital storytelling can be used in work with young as well as older people and also in higher education. It was both enlightening and inspiring to watch experienced trainers work with the participants of the workshop. My experience will benefit the digital storytelling team at the RA and empower our work with digital storytelling in Iceland as well as it will strengthen the aims of the project „Digital Storytelling at RA“. An important part of the trip was to establish contact to DigiTales Ltd. and we already plan cooperation in the future. (see written report to RA as annex)
