From 3D Capture to Public Storytelling

18–19 November 2026 | Sheptytsky Center | In person and online | Ukrainian and English  

 

This workshop explores how 3D documentation and digital heritage materials can move beyond technical preservation to become meaningful tools for public engagement, education, cultural communication, and advocacy. Participants will examine practical approaches to transforming 3D scans, photogrammetry outputs, archival materials, and digital reconstructions into compelling narratives, exhibitions, and online experiences accessible to broad audiences.

 

Combining technical and communication perspectives, the workshop presents case studies from Ukraine and Europe, with particular attention to the challenges of documenting, preserving, and communicating cultural heritage during war. Drawing on Ukraine’s experience of protecting heritage amid Russia’s full-scale invasion, it explores how digital documentation can help preserve the memory of endangered and destroyed cultural sites, raise international awareness, and support advocacy for cultural heritage protection. Special attention will be given to storytelling strategies, community-centred narratives, and ways of engaging diverse audiences through digital platforms.

 

The workshop is intended for cultural heritage professionals, researchers, students, heritage institutions, and practitioners working across heritage, media, and technology. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a better understanding of how to interpret, present, and reuse 3D data and digital heritage resources to create engaging experiences, strengthen cultural resilience, and communicate the significance of cultural heritage to national and international audiences.
