| PALIMPSEST team members visited Primary and Secondary schools in Ioannina in order to familiarize the students with the project as a new type of museum experience, where they will be able to contribute urban legends and stories and later on witness how these will come to life in a mixed reality setting.
Oral history, subjective perception, digitization, new museum experiences, were some of the concepts discussed with the students in order to get them deeply involved in the project. The involvement of the students is of great importance as the project’s first stage involves an initial archive, created with the participation of schools and trans-generational collaboration. Students seek stories and memories related to the urban fabric of the city, from elder people in their familiar environment. They transcribe them, guiding the narrators to points that interest them and they tag, categorize and archive them. Tags used related to content are partly defined freely by the students and partly by the selection from a given tank of tags; while at the same time chronological and locative tags are also requested. Media used to record the stories are chosen by the students but must include text. During the visits the Palimpsest team gave instructions on how to collect stories from elderly family members and also assisted them with technical problems. The visits took place at the: 26th Primary School, 2nd Secondary School, 7th Primary School, 1st Experimental Primary School, 3rd Secondary School, 2nd Experimental Primary School during April 2019. |
