StoryCubes in Haiti breast cancer awareness project
A Goldsmiths, University of London graduate has received a grant of $60,000 (£38,820) to build on her work engaging with, and empowering, Haitian women with breast cancer to communicate with their communities about the disease. Changing governments, years of earthquake recovery, and a lack of both resources and expertise mean that thousands of people, notably […]
StoryCubes at Making London
We used StoryCubes at the recent Making London event as part of a forecasting workshop helping participants explore how to remake and rethink relationships between markets and communities in the city. The cubes were used as the second stage to distill ideas developed collaboratively in the first part of the workshop. By focusing their ideas […]

StoryCubes in action with Cass Business School

bookleteer, Avery labels & StoryCubes
Over the summer we’ve been experimenting with using standard office labels to print StoryCubes designs created with bookleteer and mount them onto blank StoryCubes made and sold by Proboscis. This is proving to be the simplest, cheapest and most effective way we have found to make small numbers of cubes at home or work using […]

Simon & Gordon have been experimenting with a simple interface allowing people to embed web links (URLs) as QR Codes onto the cubes which can be read by devices like mobile […]
