Media, archives, storytelling

Do media need archives? What has storytelling to do with archive materials?

Stories holded on archive sources. Archive sources could be included into media narratives on a attractive way, e.g. using storytelling.

Space to grow

Why growth is so important?

On June, 11 (2015) I participated on lectures dedicated to growth and space to growth within an independent Ted event. The event had a title "Space to grow".

I especially enjoyed the lectures of Magdalena Kozłowska-Deć, Hoang Minh Ngo and Dawid Sokołowski.
