​​Context

​​Approach

  • ​​Promote the 900th celebration of Barts Hospital and Great St Barts
  • ​​Provide an opportunity for residents, businesses and students to discover more about the history of the area, and what’s happening now. In doing that, make new connections.
  • ​​Offer a way to explore what range of digital methods are available, with a focus on those that are free or low cost.
  • ​​Then later to create packages that would enable others to develop their own virtual fairs - whether major events or village fetes.
