The Legacy of the VPC

Examining the Legacy of the Venice Project Center Through the Use of Interactive Storytelling

For the past 35 years, the Venice Project Center (VPC) has led research and data dissemination efforts in the city of Venice. This project tells the story of the VPC through the use of interactive storytelling. We created a storytelling plan for future WPI teams by creating StoryMaps on ten significant topics of VPC research, producing a VPC video on Canals, creating the sample layout for a series of VPC booklets, and developing a layout for a permanent VPC exhibit. In addition, we focused on growing the VPC’s online presence by facilitating the sharing of  Open Data and by growing the VPC’s social media profiles on LinkedIn and Facebook. All of these assets are intended to grow the audience of the VPC, while making its research more accessible for future teams.
