Welcome to the Archive of Streaming Stories 2003.

Streaming Stories 2003 was a community of ordinary people making digital stories and films for the internet.

For six months over 100 storytellers from ten community groups all over Swindon learnt new skills and shared their creativity via this web site.

To find out more about this groundbreaking community education programme, visit the main Streaming Stories homepage.

On the Highlights page you can enjoy some of the movies, images and sounds created by our community.

The Digital Conversation is an area dedicated to direct digital dialogue between the groups.

Another crucial part of the community was our 'garden fence' or Forum where the whole community got together to meet up and chat.

If you'd like to contact us, please feel free to use the Message Board.
