Saltburn Digital Village
The community animation event in Saltburn on Thursday was a tremendous successes with a full house for the matinee (in which we hooked up with children and police in Latvia) and around 80 people for the evening event. We even made it onto Latvian National TV !
You can relive the event on the blog at www.saltburn.org.uk or if you really want to re-run the event in the order it happened click here ( it builds slow but quickly gets media rich) – just read each page, scrolling down and then click “older entries” at the bottom. As well as the hook-up with Latvia, the event was followed by people in Greece, Lithuania, Poland, Turkey, Sweden, Finland and the UK.
The event saw the world premier of “The Force is With You” made with the Police, Skinningrove residents and Whitecliffe Primary in Carlin How. You can enjoy the new film here
It was a great event and it was really good to see some of our Community Researchers coming along.
Also Im pleased to report that one of our national dissemination bodies, UK Online, looked in on the event and have also caught up on the evening events via the links above. Great for the project that we can show the bredth and tremendous possibilities of digital inclusion and community ICT use.
