Workshop: Storymapping - Engage the public: Building a visual story based on your research

Engage the public: Building a visual story based on your research
Most researchers have a lot of knowledge and data on their research subjects. In this course we learn and help you to build a visual story based on scientific research. With Storymapping you can give your narrative a stronger sense of place, simply illustrate relationships between places, and add visual examples such as photo’s or video’s to your ideas.

A Storymap from Archeologists Christina Willamson & Alexandra Katevaini (UG/Arts) is available here and another example StoryMap on Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh is available here.

Key concepts of storytelling and web-mapping
Participants can expect to learn the key concepts of storytelling and web-mapping in this course. If participants have their own set of maps and other multimedia ready-for-use they can take this with them in the course. If not, we have prepared a challenging set of materials which they can use and experience the full possibilities of Storymapping.

Prerequisits
No prior GIS-experience is needed. The learning goals of this course will be differentiated based on the participant’s skills and participation is free of costs. The course will be held in English.
