Storymaking in London (at the Guardian)
Formerly a 19 century local paper, the Guardian is now an international multimedia giant producing some of the finest journalism in the world.I was very happy when they agreed to host a Storymaking workshop.

If you ever find yourself in the Guardian’s offices they always have some kind of interesting exhibition to look at on the way in.

There was a slight delay getting into the room. I didn’t mind at all as I got to meet the cause of the delay.. Russell Brand.
I would have taken a photo but mistakenly thought the automatic camera round my neck had.

Everyone made themselves comfy and we got started.

After a little while we headed out into the sun.

Peach identified, thanks RT @philosopher1978: That’s a donut peach, I think. #ou_mswLauren Hutton
There was more to hand than donut peaches. This was someone’s pudding.

I wrapped up the day talking about curation and answering questions.
I was a little daunted talking to such an advanced group but all seemed to go down well.
@Documentally great workshop today, lots of food for thought in terms of what storytelling opportunities we’re missing out on round here!Jonross Swaby
My only regret was not grabbing a back up camera when bumping into @RustyRockets..
I met Russell Brand today, aka @rustyrockets He must have some kind of @Autographer blocker on as i completely missed a shot of him. #ou_mswDocumentally
Or there is always the ‘sequence’ button on the side of the Autographer.
Thanks to all who attended the #OU_MSW workshop today. & thanks to the @guardian for hosting & the @OpenUniversity for sponsoring. Much fun.Documentally
Yes, Big thanks to both the Guardian and The Open University for making the day happen.

Storymaking in Cardiff
For this, the sixth storymaking workshop, we found ourself visiting Sunny Wales.
Storified by Documentally· Tue, Jun 04 2013 03:29:57
For some reason i had thought 04:30 to be a sensible time to get up.
Oops. Got up an hour earlier than I needed to.Documentally
At least I wasn’t the only one experiencing the dawn chorus.
And now heading on grown-up train to Cardiff for #openuniversity storymaking workshop with @Documentally #ou_mswjanematthews
A trip across one country and into another and it was a short walk to the venue.

As we walked we snapped. For some this was the first time for sharing images with twitter.
All good stories need a dragon. A cake one is a good place to start #ou_mswMichelle Matheron
And any self respecting fairy tale dragon needs a castle to live in #ou_msw instagram.com/p/aGKEspm6_L/Michelle Matheron
I answered questions and gave tips as we walked.

Issue with super useful apps for storytelling – even when you’re just playing – they EAT battery! My story is about to end! 🙁 #ou_mswOlaug N Gardener

People shared Photos, text, check-ins, audio and video clips.
Learning to tell stories with the OUA215 OU’s course on creative writing sounds a great place to start writing #ou_msw
But soon enough after a walk to the castle, down by the river and back to the office, it was time to part company.
@janematthews great meeting you at #ou_msw today. Wish I’d been there from the start! Do flick me an email & I’m send u that case study :)Olaug N Gardener
