    StoryLab Training: Ethical Approaches and Methods for Uncovering Folktales

    How to work ethically within such a project? What methods are most suitable to uncover folktales? And how can we build rapport and give back to marginalized groups? The StoryLab training, following the DigiFolk methodology, was given to teach the StoryLab members how to enter the respective communities and collect folktales.
    Stay tuned – we can’t wait to start sharing these incredible stories with you!

    Phase One Complete: Exploring Folktales and Community Connections in Groningen

    We are pleased to announce the conclusion of the initial phase of our research at the Groningen region! During this period, we engaged with the communities and individuals of interest, resulting in the submission of our first research proposals. Following these initial contacts, our students embarked on a journey through the city of Groningen to collect fascinating folktales. These efforts led to presentations where students shared their experiences and research findings with their peers.

    Collaborative Momentum: Year 1 Students Join the DigiFolk Project with Workshops and Fresh Perspectives

    Now things are being switched up! Students of the first year are involved from now onwards as well! In a joint class at the University of Groningen they got introduced to the topics and specifics of the project. They had various workshops on how to curate the collected stories. Furthermore, the students that already had been working within the project explained the specifics and their research proposals, therefore more thoughts, ideas, interest and motivation were gathered!

     

    Bridging Narratives: Year 1 Students Present Their Folktale Research and Plans – Groningen

    Now the second phase of the research has been reached! Year 1 students now had the opportunity to present their way of narrating specific stories that our second years have gathered. In-class every group presented their own research plans, ideas and the folktales they had gathered. After some feedback the academic grounds were established and the first section of the project has been completed!
