Editor's Notes
- I was born in the steel making community of Consett
- escaped into the Music Industry
- I found myself working in further education (Performing Arts) then Community Radio then Internet
- and found myself at Teesside University in January 2000. My first project was RESIDER (ERDF for Steel Communities) Tees Valley Communities Online
- For this conference I am going to talk about a particular area of Teesside, a rural area: East Cleveland.
- the area is peppered with the remains of declining industries, fishing, steel and mining.
- I find myself working mostly with elderly people
- And children
- Or both
- I use the mechanism of a “Digital Village” as a means of community engagement.
- . What I offered had to be engaging and interesting and fun
