</h1><p>
</p><p>This is the seventh in the <a href="https://digitalinclusionleeds.com/free-creative-digital-storytelling-workshops" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">creative digital storytelling series</a>, giving attendees new ways to share their own stories and the stories of the people you work with using free and easy to use digital tools. This workshop is the last in the current series but we will return in 2023  with more workshops after reading feedback from workshop participants. 
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><h2>Who are the workshops for?
</h2><p>
</p><p>The workshops are for anyone who is new to digital design software, people that want to learn new skills for themselves or to share with the people and communities they work with, or anyone who wants to explore new ways to make digital content. These workshops will enable you to make artworks and create digital content for your organisation or businesses and will give everyone taking part new skills to use as part of LEEDS 2023 year of culture. The workshops are open to anyone over the age of 18.
</p><p>
</p><p>The workshops will give you the skills for capturing and sharing the impact of your work and creating engaging content for your social media or website. The same skills could be brought into your creative events programming and used to help the people and communities you work with to record and share their stories and creative work, upskill them and teach them new skills. These free workshops will be breaking down the perceptions that digital software&#x27;s are difficult to use, expensive and inaccessible.
