Webinars

Museums are filled with stories. But in a digital landscape, where the attention span of audiences is very often quite limited, how do museums use storytelling to connect with audiences? How can they use different digital tools and platforms to journey their audience from a 'passive content consumer' to an 'active, involved member of the community'?

In this NEMO Webinar, participants will have an experience about identifying and building an effective digital storytelling strategy; framing stories for the web and sharing them in a way that connects audiences to their institution's mission. The session aims to answer questions such as "what stories should we share", "which tools should we use" and so on. The webinar also features case studies and examples from projects that The Heritage Lab has led and produced. Whether you're getting started or are a seasoned storyteller, please join so we can all exchange ideas and navigate this space together.
