ReadFest 2025: Digital Storytelling Trail Workshop

The Pen to Print Digital Storytelling Trail is an ongoing project to record and share stories about Barking and Dagenham. Our first trail can currently be found in Barking Town Centre, but they are expanding around the borough.

Using Bloomberg Connects on your smart phone we are using new technology to help read, watch or listen to stories new and old.

We have been working closely with our partners to include images, written poems and stories, videos and audio that will inform and entertain.

More trails are being added all the time and aiming to focus on the Becontree Estate in Dagenham and during this workshop, you will create a poem, memory or story, to be added to the trail.
