Culture Shock is a collection of digital stories by people in the North East of England, which is inspired by museums and galleries.
From the website:
Culture Shock is an exciting two year project which aims to collect 1,000 digital stories from people across the North East of England.
The project will explore the diverse heritage of individuals, groups and communities living in the region, by encouraging 1,000 people to create their own digital stories inspired by museums and galleries collections.
By creating these stories we want to promote a greater awareness and understanding of diverse communities in the North East by encouraging people from similar and different backgrounds to explore, document and share their heritage with each other and the wider North East community.
