🛠️Legacy Storylines
A communication strategy tool for empower your community
What is it about and why is it relevant ?
Any citizen sensing initiative needs to be able to explain why and how data was collected, linking it to the wider community’s objectives. Storylines can take a variety of forms and formats. From videos with community member’s testimonies explaining their role and participation in the initiative to local exhibitions in a physical space where the narrative of the initiative is made explicit to the local community. Legacy Storylines ( P.152) can also be used to map interrelations across different individual experiences and perceptions, which may as well provide feedback and identify gaps from the community’s view. Storylines may be combined with other activities, such as dissemination campaigns or local events. To make them part of a communication strategy, this tool can be used in combination with a Communication Handbook 3 .
As part of the Citizen Sensing Toolkit, this tool is part of a wider framework for citizen sensing projects. It is suggested to read the tool’s information in this context so FCHs and the communities running them can understand better when and how to implement it. This particular step in the process (sharing the outcomes of the initiative though communities’ storylines) might provide content to the physical or digital implementation of a FCH, linking people’s experiences on a specific project to the development of the overall initiative.
