| Thomas Flynn, Digital Heritage Consultant, UK.
Now more than ever, 3D data is being captured and created by both amateurs and professionals within but also outside the cultural heritage sector. This developing body of spatial media—which represents topics and themes from across global history—affords us fresh opportunities for telling stories in new and novel ways. Let's uncover some of these opportunities, as well as some of the challenges, facing GLAM organisations seeking to leverage 3D to achieve their goals as educational and memory institutions.

10:20-11:05 | Panel session - Folk and intangible heritage
|
| Maja L. Musum, The National Museum, Norway
Many Norwegians feel a close attachment to folk costumes. These traditional garments can create a sense of belonging, but also of alienation. In the exhibition Skakke Folkedrakter, six artists have used cultural heritage as their source of inspiration. In return the artists have - perhaps unintentionally - contributed significantly back to the field of cultural heritage, the stories we tell of the past, and our contemporary constructions of the past.
Foteini Veneiri, Heterotopia, Greece
Digital storytelling through online live museum theatre: unveiling archives, communicating intangible heritage. The presentation explores the intersection of digital storytelling and museum theatre in online live programmes for cultural institutions. With a focus on interpreting archives and intangible heritage, it examines the potential of liveness and performativity in engaging remote audiences, through case studies from the Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments and the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece. |

| Grab a coffee, stretch and gear up for more storytelling! |
11:15-12:00 | Panel session - Play and games |
| Marc van Hasselt, Novitas heritage, Netherlands
Storytelling is integral to history and to heritage interpretation. Through new and interactive media, stories have become increasingly interactive and immersive. Instead of traditional 'lean-back media', like television and movies, the younger generations have become accustomed to 'lean-forward media' like video games. How can heritage sites adapt to this development? In this talk, we will explore the definition of terms such as interactive, immersive, games and play.
Gabriele Aroni, School of Digital Arts of Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK
This presentation will discuss how commercial digital games explore cultural heritage, as well as the problems that might arise in terms of cultural property and appropriateness of use, and potential solutions. Through case studies from Italy, Canada, China, and India, the presentation will display case studies on various implementations of cultural heritage in digital games and propose methods of collaboration between cultural heritage institutions and the creative industries. |

| 13:00-14:30 Workshop #1 - Beth Daley, Europeana Foundation
Writing journeys. We’ll use free writing and cultural heritage material from the Europeana website to explore the theme of ‘journey’. You might take a personal or reflective journey, or maybe you’re drawn to practical things like transport, maps and routes. There are no wrong answers here and no experience necessary. Bring a pen and paper or a digital device to write on. You’re welcome to share what you write or keep it to yourself. This is open to all as part of the main conference programming.
13:00-13:30 Workshop #2 - Valentina Bachi, Antonella Fresa, Susanna Capannini, Photoconsortium
Digital storytelling with Europeana galleries workshop. How can the Europeana website help us build narratives? How can we utilise this tool in the classroom? The workshop will explain and demonstrate how to develop new digital storytelling activities for students by creating galleries on Europeana.eu thanks to the gallery builder tool, exploring the website's functionalities and establishing thematic connections between the items made available in Europeana.eu by thousands of Institutions from all over Europe. Please sign up for this workshop when you register for the event.
