A recent workshop at Abertay University was a fabulous way for @OYCIchange and @DataKirk to get started on the games development journey. 30 young people from the two groups got stuck into Ideation and Creation, supported by the 'Youth-led research and development' team.
It's been great to hear participant feedback from the recent New Narratives storytelling lab. This INCLUDE project is using the labs as a way of building capacity within third sector organisations which support migrants, exploring new approaches to engage with communities.
Ultimately, the project seeks to develop a cross-sector approach to refugee and asylum seeker engagement in Folkestone, that promotes civic participation and counteracts negative stereotypes. Read more on our website includeplus.org/new-narrativ…
